Drawing Tuesday - Docklands museum

Next door to the museum, some strange "pods" had appeared outside the restaurant, cosy for eating outside in winter no doubt -

 Inside, the table beam caught my eye ... and proved difficult ...

 so I turned my attention to some nearby chains -

 ... with these results. "Perspective" of circles needs some observing and practice -

 Jo sat by the window and drew some workmen who were having a long chat -

 Carol found a combination of metal and cloth -

 Janet B fit the square capstan onto her square page -

 Janet K got to know the helmsman (painted wood carved in the style of a figurehead, 1850) - the trademark of mast makers Bawm & Co on West India Dock Road - it stood on their roof and was a local landmark -

 Sue found a rotary seive, early 20th century -

Joyce went whaling -

 Najlaa found 18th century china and glass -

 Judith used shades of grey for the poster girl, and white on black paper elsewhere -

 Extracurricular activities

Carol's colour homework - cloth collage

Janet K 's color collage

I did one too

Sue brought along a collograph (top left) and various prints, some with added stencilled ink, from a recent printmaking course -

A while back, Joyce made felt, with colours derived from a photograph -

 and Sue based a linocut on a drawing, then did a digital version, changing colours -

 Technique of the week -
