Drawing Tuesday - Petrie Museum

This is not the Petrie Museum - it's another building at University College London, overshadowing the courtyard where we had coffee ... and very glad of the shadow, as it was a bright, warm afternoon.

Inside, the temperature was cool and there were lots of pots to draw, some with intriguing breaks, joins and holes -

I started with a well-repaired one, attracted by the patterning -

and moved on to this one -

Mags also drew pots, using a variety of media (see her post on this for explanation, and better photo - all that shade got the camera confused)-

As did Sue -

Janet B drew a skeleton in a pot -

Jo's figurine was also fired clay -

Surely Janet K's lamp-bearer was clay too? -

Carol drew tiny alabaster vases (life size) and then discovered drawers to pull out, full of treasures from tombs -

Technique of the week comes from Mags - using the tip of a mechanical pencil, without a lead, to score the paper before adding marks/shading. That leaves white lines -
