Maritime Museum more sketches

These are actually on paper, and not just in cyber space. But I started wtih a printout then added colour. Click on picture to see enlarged. The Martiime Museum is a rather striking building with its bold dark grey against the white. It was once a stables, and a rather fancy one at that - for the building next door, Osborne House. The Geelong Council have major development plans alas and the museum might have to be relocated as the money-spinners move in.

Using the photos taken at the Maritime Museum the other day, I played around with them - negative, cropping, edge, etc. and put pictures together as a collage for now. Later I might choose which ones that may be useful for small drawings and paintings. So far they are mainly in the ether and not on real paper! It is certainly an inexpensive way of making many pictures! No paper, no pastels, no paints! Click on picture to enlarge a little.

As a break from sorting books at the Donation in Kind Depot I did a quick sketch next door at the Maritime Museum. Then this evening while watching television I added a bit of biro. I'm afraid the chains on the anchor look a bit like squashed pasta. I might take some photos next week to use as a reference for some better drawings/paintings. This building was once the stables of Osborne House I believe, a very nice building that, alas, is to be altered to be turned into some kind of development in the future. It now houses classrooms for training adults as well as a very busy local history resource.
