Museum Visit

On Thursday we went down to the museum 'Bath at Work', which is a reconstructed old factory including over a million collected items from real old factories. Our task was to draw still life in the museum. These pictures are ones I took of some things that really interested me.

This ranged from a typewrite, vintage bottles, and even an old fashioned car. Being not quite talented enough yet to draw a real life car, I decided to pick smaller areas of things to draw. This is a snapshot of my sketchbook.

I think with some more practice and time, still life can be something I can draw with more ease. I enjoy putting textures into things, so I liked to draw things like wood and paper. Glass, metal and shiny things I struggled a bit more with drawing, so I think if I continue to draw shiny objects in my sketchbook maybe everyday or so, I can - hopefully - only get better.

This is a skill I'd like to learn and is very useful in the publishing world. To see something and draw it can be useful, as that could inspire you or remind you
of something and help with designing other things for clients.
