Beetles Gallery
Sitting outside the famous gallery on a Sunday looking down Ryder Street
Chris Beetles gallery
Ryder Street, London
I went on a trip into Central London to visit Chris Beetles' famous drawing and cartoon gallery but forgot that it was Sunday, so it was closed. To make up for my disappointment I sat down and sketched this view down the street, looking straight as the Masons' headquarters - who knew?
The gallery is well worth a trip - to quote from their own website:
Chris Beetles Gallery occupies a distinct position in the world of commercial art galleries by specialising in traditional artworks from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and by remaining particularly focussed on British watercolours, oils, illustrations, cartoons and figurative sculptures.

Prints are made with archival inks on one of two papers - either 350g Hahnemuhle German Etching paper, or 290g. Hahnemuhle Hemp, a beautifully heavy paper with rich colours. Made with 60% hemp fiber, this is an eco-friendly paper. Hemp is a highly sustainable resource, historically used for papermaking. Hahnemuhle use spring water for milling, and the production of hemp paper does not require bleaching or chloride, making the process less impactful. Postage and packing will be calculated on checkout.

Framing and mounts
An A4 print is best framed in an A3 frame - these images work best with a decent amount of white space surrounding them.
