I hope you've had a good week. It's pouring with rain here at the moment which is actually making me feel really nice and cosy, until I have to go out in it.
Last week I visited the Museum of London to sketch. This is something I would love to do more of so I'm definitely going to find the time to make Museum drawing something I do more often. It always gives me new ideas and colour combinations and just a fresh approach to my work. I didn't go with a plan of what to draw I just decided to go with what attracted my attention whilst I was there. Also, sometimes Museums can be so busy in certain areas it's simply impossible to draw in a relaxed way. I became obsessed with a cabinet of Mediterranean pots, vases and tiles, they were a joy to draw. Such beautiful patterns that looked so contemporary.
I only had pencils and pens with me. I took a selection of colours and then hoped for the best colourwise! I like working like this, having to make the best of limited supplies. Then when I came home I worked up the initial sketches with inks, pens and more pencil. I really enjoyed this process and definitely want to do more. I've also added these to my website in a new sketchbook section of my portfolio.
I hope you've got a good weekend planned. I need to do some Christmas shopping and I'm hoping to squeeze in a gallery visit too. Enjoy your week, and get cosy!
