Auerbach shares Kossoff's thick impasto technique and dedication to depicting everyday urban London scenes with raw expressive energy, often working in mixed media combining drawing and painting to capture familiar subjects with emotional intensity.

Freud similarly worked within the School of London tradition using figurative and observational approaches to everyday scenes, employing dense layered mark making and a commitment to painting the ordinary with psychological depth and material richness.

Bomberg directly influenced Kossoff and worked in similar charcoal and oil mixed media approaches, capturing urban and everyday subjects with bold gestural marks and a strong emphasis on the physicality of the painted surface.
