It was a miserable afternoon, but a good few of us turned up to sketch in the National Gallery on the last Sunday in January. I enjoyed going to the Turner watercolour exhibition, where we could see the Vaughan Bequest collection, with a twist. As it is the 250th anniversary of Turner's birth, the National Galleries of Ireland and Scotland swapped their collections. A special treat for January. I also wandered around the gallery, to say hello to a few of my favourite paintings in the general collection. It was a while since I had been, so it felt extra special. And I sketched too, of course. And I continued sketching in the Lincoln Inn afterwards, not quite so successfully, but all in the spirit of experimentation!
