Drawing Tuesday - Imperial War Museum

Climbing the stairs, I got this view of a Spitfire and a nice ledge to rest the sketchbook on -
... and on second glance got a better idea of the proportions; the carpentry maxim "measure twice, saw once" comes into mind -

Others viewed the plane from other angles -
Janet K

Janet B
I also found the "roof terrace" with its view of the cupola and various finials -


as did Janet B, who - as her "warm up" - fit a larger view onto a smaller page -

Judith had drawn from a WWI source - this is the aftermath of Ypres -
 and more recently, Irish leaders Martin McGuinness and Ian Paisley -

Najlaa found the Whittlecoach motif, and a poster showing a textile panel that hung in the home of Constance Markievicz, the first women cabinet minister in Europe, elected to the parliament in 1918 -

Carol was intrigued by a jeep with all its equipment on the outside -

Sue paid close attention to a wrecked Japanese plane -

Extracurricular activities -
Najlaa printed with big leaves on cloth

Janet K stitched a tiny rug for a doll's house, based on a rug that
had belonged to her grandmother
