Composure



The two women were both composed in a relaxed and serene manner. The first is in a brasserie in Battersea having a coffee and reading the Telegraph in a sunny corner. The second is drifting in and out of sleep as she keeps one eye out for her stop on the tube.
The man has just had a confrontation with the management of the Lake Cafe in Battersea Park after his hot chocolate was removed from his lake side table during his temporary absence from it. The staff were fairly apologetic but this man was bristling with anger and this sketch was made during his calming down period. I felt quite tense drawing him as he was quite close and exuding fury but it had to be done.
