The National Army Museum

17/11/2018

It was cold but gorgeously sunny for this month's Urbans day at The National Army Museum.  So a number of us chose The Royal Hospital Chelsea - home of the Chelsea pensioners next door.  I hadn't realised it is open to the public, nor its size or splendour.  Dramatic perspectives - my first attempts failed so I opted for a detail of the main façade...

On my way out for our lunchtime review or show of work I noticed an entrance to the colonnade in that façade.  A perspective but with useful height/reference points.

In the morning I had the (limited) warmth of the sun on my back and didn't notice it was cold but the colonnade - although the strong light and shadows through the columns were dramatic - was not in sun so this was a quickie.

But lots of interest from the friendly Pensioners going to and from lunchtime in the Great Hall - itself a fabulous space.

​I had decided to travel light with an old 8 pan W&N travel box and water pens.  With a bit more use/practice could become my pocket kit.
