On Saturday the NYC Urban Sketchers met at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We were sketching in the room that contains the armor. I've sketched there before and enjoy sketching the displays. The museum policy is that you can draw with dry media but they usually let us use water brushes. I sketched this in watercolor pencils.
The above sketch took quite a while and I had just a little while before we were meeting for lunch. Two of our fellow sketchers were busy in the same room, so I sketched them.
More from the Met tomorrow.
Excellent! I like the horse, of course. The artists sketching with the sculptures/exhibits behind is clever and well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Funny thing...while I was sketching Mark on the chair, he was sketching me and the guy sketching next to me. lol
DeleteDear Joan both sketches are superb. I (like Jo) found the horse to be excellent. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks so much. Horses are much easier to sketch when they are in a museum. lol Have a good weekend!
DeleteOh my goodness gracious! That first piece is spectacular Joan. I so applaud your skill at doing sketches like the ones you do - the variety and detail in so many of them leave me so envious. Well Done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketches, both. But I'm partial to the horse in armor!
