A sunny day in Greenwich -
and a great display of figureheads at the Maritime Museum -
|
Information on the ships they came from |
|
It felt like I'd bitten off more than I could chew ... |
|
... but perseverance filled the page |
|
More figureheads |
|
Part of the figurehead of HMS Bristol, built 1861 and broken up in 1883. The figurehead was one of many that decorated the roof of the office of Castle & Co (the breakers)at Millbank, London; its head is all that survived WWII bombing |
Other work -
|
Carol continues to use colour |
|
Mags looked again and again at the "roping palm" - she writes about it here |
|
Sitting at mezzanine level, Janet K focussed on two of the figureheads |
|
Janet B took both the front and back views of a statue of a ssiilor |
|
Both Mags and Janet B had been on a drawing course at the British Museum and told us about what they'd done and learned |
|
Tool of the week - a tin of Lumograph pencils, HB to 8B |

deja vu -- we were at the maritime museum on April 1 2015, also a sunny day, also a wonderful museum visit. wish I could be back there this year too!
Those Lumograph pencils look most inviting - maybe I need some for a planned sketching trip next week?!
