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!
ReplyDeleteThose Lumograph pencils look most inviting - maybe I need some for a planned sketching trip next week?!
