Drawing Tuesday - Museum of London

A simple pot - and its shadows - first caught my eye -

followed by pots in a case nearby -

Away from the "prehistoric" gallery and into more modern times - this was part of a banner used on a processional barge in the mid-19th century -

Yet again, my good intention to work on these pages at home came to naught. The coloured pencils are all water soluble, but water makes the pages wrinkle and heavy working into wet areas can soak through the page - is "perfect neatness" getting in the way? is a little risk-taking needed??

Judith found a view into the gardens through a railing -

 Jo found four mother-goddesses (usually they come in groups of three) -

 Carol had been in the prehistoric gallery too -

 as had Mags -

Tools and techniques - Jo demonstrated the subtle colours of Graphtint soluble pencils -

 Mags showed how to make those white lines - first score them with the retractable pencil, then cover with graphite; some erasure is optional -

Carol's wide and narrow tipped felt pens, water soluble -

 Extracurricular activities -  Carol's machine stitching from her photo of a favorite view -
