Drawing Tuesday - Wallace Collection

I set out to focus on the majolica, and first gathered some putti from plates, but it was this one that caught my eye -

 After nearly an hour I was ready to quit -

 but instead changed from a mechanical pencil to a 2B, and enhanced it with some colour -

 Which left 10 minutes to have a quick go at those putti (from my photos) -

 Mags -

 and Michelle -

drew from the collection; everyone else went to the special exhibition, Henry Moore's Helmet Heads (till 23 June). During and after WW2 his studio was damaged, so instead of sculpture he turned to drawing, and went often to the Wallace Collection.
