MET sketches

I spent the whole day yesterday at the MET Museum in New York City yesterday working with a technical pencil I like (MUJI 0.2mm).  It was a national holiday after all.  From 10:30 am till noon, I tried to figure out how to sketch this very elaborate sarcophagus.  I came back to work on it for another hour and 45 minutes.  Then it was time to move on and do some other sculptures. First was Lucretia, then Marsyas, then A Hypocrite and Slanderer.  Lastly, I had to draw an armor and a horse.

    Thanks, Joan. Easy to get lost in time inside any of these museums. Glad to use the pencil again (to avoid unwanted check from the museum guards).
