Drawing Tuesday - Horniman Museum

The natural history section was crowded with schoolchildren, young adults with learning difficulties and cameras, and even some tiny tots in checked gingham smocks. And it had skeletons -

The natural history section also had some vibrantly-coloured display cases, which Janet B's attire matched rather well -

 And come to think of it, the dragonfly (among her many drawings) would wear those colours too -

Najlaa's Great Northern Diver provoked discussion of Canadian loons; both are Gavia immer - 

 Janet K was in the music section, enjoying the colours and structure of an Ethiopian harp -

 Judith filled a spread with lively creatures -

Sue didn't stop after drawing the African mask but quickly went on to a very strange musical instrument -

Tip of the week
