London

I went to London to visit the National Art Gallery and the Tate Modern Gallery.
Cenotaph to the Memory of Sir
Joshua Reynolds - John Constable 
Water-Lilies, Setting Sun - Claude Monet

 There were not many figurative pieces that I felt inspired by or that I really liked. I saw some pieces from some of my favourite artists such as Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Monet which I really enjoyed looking at. There were also some other artists that I found whose paintings and artwork I liked such as George Shaw, L.A. Ring, Edgar Degas and Odilon Redon. I felt as though the National Art Gallery didn't have a lot of artwork that was relevant to my theme and what I want to look at for my theme as a lot of the artwork was very old from around the 12th/13th Century.
Bathers (Les Grandes Baigneuses) - Paul Cezanne

There was an exhibition on at the National Art Gallery for George Shaw called My Back To Nature. I really liked the style in which he had done his paintings, and there were also some figure sketches on paper he had done that were on display which I really liked.
