ADEBANJI ALADE: MY ART, MY PASSION FOR SKETCHING — Chelsea Riverside
The First 20 Paintings and Drawings of Chelsea (My Chelsea Marathon)
Adebanji Alade alla prima Chelsea drawings Chelsea Embankment Chelsea Marathon Chelsea Moorings Chelsea Paintings Chelsea Riverside drawing oil on board plein air sketches
The journey of painting and drawing scenes around the Chelsea area.
I thought I would have finished these quite earlier than this but I learned along the way that I am better with a slower pace and more quality work. I keep striving to improve and making sure that I get the spirit and the feel of atmosphere or light in any particular scene I approach.
