Drawing Tuesday - Petrie Museum

"There's more behind this door" said the sign ... and there was ...
 ... yet more cases of intriguing objects, but as you can see, the steps make it difficult to stand and draw, and some of the objects are small and distant -
The rest of the museum provided enough to be getting on with! I found these objects next to each other - the label said "Saqqara ... 30th Dynasty, Ptolomaic" (380-343 BC). The materials are alabaster, wood with gold foil, and wood with gilding.
The god Horus is depicted as a falcon wearing the double crown of Egypt
 Sue found she had only a biro with her; for her second drawing of the day, she captured the pattern made by the robes and feet of the bald-headed men carrying the barque -
Janet K's objective was to have all the pots and their decorations in proportion to one another -
Carol had made her own sketchbook with coloured papers so that she could use colour and highlighting -
 Jo produced a plethora of lions of various sorts -


Janet B went to town on an entire case full of pots -
 Extracurricular activity - Carol started her new sketchbook with a landscape, also with highlighting -
