Greenwich Perspectives

Sunday 11th August 2024
Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich

We walked the grounds of the Old Royal Naval Hospital and went up to the Observatory Hill, exploring the foundations of one and two-point perspective, drawing the Queen's House front and back, the colonnade and the breathtaking view towards Canary Wharf.​​​​​​
