I had a day in London yesterday visiting the British Museum and the National Gallery. I had planned to go to the V&A but it was closed. The British Museum has some wonderful collections from around the world and the entrance hall with its’ domed glass roof is spectacular. I sketched some Roman sculptures and some interesting Egyptian statues. The National Gallery houses some of my favourite paintings by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas, Constable and many of the great artists. It’s a bit daunting to sketch in there with so many great works on display so I stopped in Trafalgar Square for 15 minutes on the way back to Waterloo Station.
