A drawing from the Met

This is a drawing of a sculpture by Janet Scudder. This sculpture is actually part of a fountain in the American Wing. It's called Frog Fountain and was sculpted in 1906. It's a bronze sculpture which made drawing it a little complicated, but definitely fun.


I have a few other drawings from that day which I'll post later on. This one is especially important because it is the last page of my sketchbook! It always feels nice to complete a sketchbook, now I have to look for a new one.

Apse, St. John the Divine

This Romanesque/Gothic revival church is found on West 113 street uptown Manhattan. It's one of the largest Anglican cathedrals in the world and it is definitely worth a visit.

This is the drawing I did of the church's apse,next time I'll try to sit and draw the facade. I found this view interesting and challenging.
