Drawing Tuesday - Southwark Cathedral and/or "underneath"

Some went to Soutwark Cathedral, some stayed home...

For those who didn't go to Southwark Cathedral, the suggested topic was "underneath" - 
preposition
  1. 1.
    situated directly below (something else).
    "our bedroom is right underneath theirs"
  2. 2.
    so as to be concealed by (something else).
    "money changed hands underneath the table"
adverb
  1. 1.
    situated directly below something else.
    "there was plenty of storage room underneath"
  2. 2.
    so as to be concealed by something else.
    "paint was peeling off in flakes to reveal greyish plaster underneath"
noun
  1. the part or side of something facing towards the ground; the underside.
    "a wart on the underneath of his foot"




From AnnFor 'underneath' theme here is the moment when Callisto is brought to Diana underneath a robe and revealed as being  pregnant by Jupiter...Dianas husband. This is a drawing showing a section of the painting by Titian which I drew  on a study day of this painting recently.



From Jo - Managed to do 'underneath' in Southwark too, although I found it very dark in there. This is the underside of a lectern:

And an early ceiling boss, now propped up as eye-level at the west end:



From Najlaa - I did something different.


From Janet K - I liked the expression on Dr Lockyer's face. Not the usual tomb monument.

From Sue K - l settled on a section of a huge memorial to John Portar & family. Made by the Southwark Group of Sculptors. He & his wife & children are depicted & in addition, 2 ‘weepers’ children who didn’t reach adulthood. (I left off the larger children - defeated by pleats & ruffles).


From JoyceI sat next to Sue and drew the two figures above hers, John Trehearne and his wife. The “hearse” of his name means heron, so three herons, depicted on his family crest.



From Judith - Two for the effort of one. ‘Inside my husband’s hat’[last week] and ‘underneath.’


From me - I unexpectedly had to be at home, but that gave me a chance to do some monoprinting (my bete noir among the "fun" techniques). 

Taking what was nearest to hand, I turned over some mugs and a bowl that were on the drying rack, nice simple shapes, then arranged them and "just drew".  Here are the favourites -

and these turned out ok too -

Hint for writing backwards - write it forwards first, on a scrap of paper, for reference.
