Drawing Tuesday - Petrie Museum

We hadn't been to the Petrie for quite a while, and there's always lots to choose from. And tables to sit at, right in front of the cases!

The 2nd-century funeral portraits always captivate me, and there's a book about them lying on the big central table. An earlier effort to "get a likeness" had (ahem) mixed results, so I decided to have another go.

Warm up:  continuous line drawn blind with non-dominant hand

Drawn with biro. It's worth getting the proportions right!

Then and now...

Janet B's pots, large and small, in one case -

 Carol's fragment and entire portrait head - "getting it to look ike gold" -

 Sue's reconstructed tile floor -

 Mags' accumulation of pots, using her new earth-coloured marker pens -

Extracurricular acitivities

Carol had a go at the life-drawing on the RA website

Mags had a great time at a textiles retreat, "mapping"
her walks on long strips of fabric
