The Drawing Circus Photo-set 1: The Royal Pavilion
Added 2020-03-21 18:47:20 +0000 UTCOver the ten long years in which the Drawing Circus traveled the UK never had we posed in such an opulent venue as the Music Room of Brighton's Royal Pavilion. With respect to the antique carpets the conservators prohibited the sharpening of pencils in the Music Room, requiring us to employ a team or runners who on seeing a blunt pencil raised aloft would dash forth, take the pencil and leave the room to sharpen it, before returning it to the artist. This first set of Drawing Circus photos can be downloaded via the link below - a collection of costumed figures, portraits and costumed tableau shot by Nicolas Brekespeare, Mary Martin and Seqouia Ziff. Thom Novi also captured the night in this short film, if you would like some context for your drawings. Please feel free to use them to make work from, following the guidelines below.
