Drawing Tuesday - Tate Britain

In the "big hall" were some sculptures chosen by Rachel Whiteread, whose work was on show nearby. I'd spotted Barry Flanagan's rope on a previous visit - its complexity, amid the simplicity of the columns, is so enticing -

In the background, works by Richard Deacon and Linda Benglis

I started with that crack in the floor and then struggled with the rope.

Looked a lot, erased a lot, redrew a lot ...

Janet K drew Richard Deacon's "For Those who have Ears" -

Janet B, still using her large square sketchbook, found a Henry Moore -

 Carol was captivated by the frame of "the Ophelia painting" - she'd noticed a little lever on the inside that allowed the painting to be removed or replaced -

 Sue got a good angle on Jacob Epstein's "Torso" -

 Joyce went after some Whiteread castings (under a chair, inside a hot water bottle) and that Linda Benglis's "Quartered Meteor" -

Having seen what Whiteread did with flattened packaging, Joyce used her own materials (eg sweet wrappers from xmas) -

Also on the extracurricular front, Janet K has been drawing some of her little treasures, including a thimble case her son brought back from a school trip to China when he was 12 -
