Drawing Tuesday - Brunei Gallery

Four exhibitions were on offer - downstairs, a history of road-building in India/Pakistan, which included this intriguing image -

Upstairs, a miner's drawings and writings about coal mining in Japan in the 1920s; in the back room, Hatha Yoga; and in the main room, Ancient Vessels, related to eating and drinking in China through the ages.

 I gathered a few of those vessels and objects -

It was adding the writing to the page that made it "work" - not just filling the (unconsidered) blank spaces, but adding contrast of size and mark, and using one colour for unification. As someone said in discussion, you also get to decide exactly where to add the writing and that changes the whole page.

Outside the gallery, Jo found some architectural subjects -

Najlaa collected patterned fabrics from the drawings of the miners and villagers -

Joyce compiled some yoga poses -

 Extracurricular activities

Joyce has been drawing 100 people in one week - main sources, sport on telly and the grandchildren -

Najlaa wondered if anyone might know why her embroidery machine was misbehaving -

... a job for the repairperson, we decided.
