Tate Britain and Park

I was so eager to do more sketches in my days off which is a great sign - and today I chose to go to Tate Britain (plus a mini gallery elsewhere), and rather adventurously, Tate Modern (but that did not happen in the end due to time). Going to Tate Britain was actually a lot more fruitful than I had anticipated and I have ended up with more sketches than planned - yaay!

My usual initial first sketch which is always quite scribbly of people looking around the gallery. I gave in to pencil because it did seem to give me a better start - and no eraser was used.



Being in the art gallery, of course I would also actually draw parts of paintings and sculptures. I do seem to enjoy drawing horses and like animals - maybe I should be an Equestrian artist or something, heh... perhaps not.



More viewing public.



More pieces of art. And the black pen happened.





It has been so so long... finally more naked bodies! But just torso sculptures here.



After the enthusiasm from Britain, I then went by the little park area by the river. I think it was called 'Riverside Walk Park' or something of that nature. I tried and failed to draw a building - blimey, they are so hard to muster enthusiasm for at times.





I came to the end of the sketchbook!



As I was about to pack up, I noticed a cute doggy that just kept rolling around on its back. Unfortunately a little too quickly for me even to draw, but there's some of sorts. Pigeons!



A more successful day on teh drawing front, I would say. Perhaps the Tate Modern next?

Lastly, just a few more sketches from the Crystal Palace day. I took a few photos and drew from those. Pencil became my friend.
