It's 's been a while since I've been on a 'Drawing Tuesday' visit but this week at the Natural History Museum I was on a mission to gather material for ' Painting the Novel' course with Ashley Hanson in a couple of weeks time at Creek Creative. The novel I've chosen is ' Remarkable Creatures' by Tracy Chevalier, a fictionalised account of the friendship between Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpott.
I'm still exploring ideas about how I might interpret the book ( it wouldn't be the first time ' fossil cliffs' have inspired me) but it was an amazing experience to draw the actual specimens of ' sea monsters ' that Mary collected
