Drawing at the Met - knights in armor hall

I think we were supposed to draw the negative space or something. I can't figure out why else I would draw the silhouette. I like drawing horse's hooves but that's about all I like here. Okay--I hate it!

Drawing at the Met - Rosa Bonheur painting

This is from a painting is called The Horse Fair. It's gigantic. I included my notes and practice sketch on the first page. The second drawing is unfinished, obviously. I kind of like the horse's hooves on that second sketch--by the time I got there I'd finally loosened up.

These drawings elicited a lot of unsolicited advice from passing tourists. I guess they thought I looked confused and squinty-eyed (well, I may have been), and wanted to help. I met a lot of people that morning.
