Science museum lates

31/1/2018

New Year, new pens, new experience.  Went with Sketchmob to the Science Museum LATES.  What an experience.  It closes then reopens at 6:45pm.  When I arrived at 6:30pm a huge long queue down Exhibition Road.  But the arrangements were so efficient we were all in by 7pm and set off to sketch but first visiting one of the many 'restaurants' around the galleries along with bars, live music and interactive staffed demonstrations.  I gather the other museums do similar things scheduling their LATES so as not to clash.

Great places to sketch in the warm, dry and with masses of people.

I went for a view downwards into the Broadcast Gallery trying out my new Tombow Brush pens - brush one end pen the other.  A whole new technique and one which will take some mastering.  I've seen so many others in London Urban Sketchers use them so have to keep up...

The Wellcome Collection

20/1/2018

Astonishingly I've done nothing for a month, apart from some 'studio' work for Christmas so was a relief to be joining London Urban Sketchers at The Wellcome Collection.  As ever lots of artists and a wide range of work/styles.  Always stimulating.  I haven't been to The Wellcome Collection for some time. Previously I was not that impressed but the building, displays and facilities have been changed.  It is now an impressive venue with a good café, restaurant and particularly the Reading Room where I started.  Clearly out of practice - I felt the effect of a month's inactivity.  The building retains its fine Art Deco stair lobby/well which was a challenging exercise in perspective and angles - but a delight.  20 minutes left...what better than the Reading Room again to sketch sketchers....
