Simon Tolhurst celebrates a decade of drawing patients as they are having NHS hospital treatment.
Simon Tolhurst has been creating portraits at the University College Hospital for a decade
He has spent most Thursdays since 2013 volunteering to create A4 drawings which he then prints and gives to them.His artwork is mostly black and white pencil drawings, in order to not take up too much space in the clinical environment."I've met so many incredible people and been privileged to make portraits of people in that situation," he said.
"I said to her, 'Well, posing can be quite relaxing, quite meditative. Shall we try and make the drawing and see what happens with that?' And I think about 45 minutes into the drawing when the staff came back to take her blood pressure, she was back down within the treatable range," he said.
