The National Theatre, Southbank London by David Richardson

A plein air pencil and watercolour painting of this iconic Brutalist building, positioned beside the Thames on London’s Southbank.

  The theatre’s angular concrete forms and bold distortions have always divided opinion—people tend to either love it or dislike it. When it opened in 1976, King Charles, then Prince of Wales, famously likened it to a nuclear power station.

   Personally, I rather enjoy its bold Brutalist statement. To me, it has become one of London’s most interesting buildings, adding its distinctive presence to the ever-changing collection of architecture that lines the river.
