Sat 280919 Visited Dulwich Picture Gallery/Told off...NOT to use pastels!/Visited Tate Britain, instead

VISITED DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY/TOLD OFF, NOT TO USE PASTELS

When I woke up...I recall thinking to myself I will go to DWP to go and practice doing some 'pastel' drawing...which is teaching me all about how the 'masters' made use of colour.

So, I took along with me...both pastel chalks/pastel drawing papers.

However, after standing up drawing for just a few minutes long...a guard came over and told me to NOT use pastels to draw with inside of the gallery...as the pastels might affect the paintings.

I quite politely nodded, yes; because, I too am interested in saving the paintings...that is, I'm interested in older paintings preservation. 

However, deep down inside I also felt rather highly mortified; because I came over to DWP strictly to practice drawing using pastels...and, learn about how to use 'colour' most effectively.

For a while, I moved off into a more private room of the gallery...instead, of standing up in the open gallery...and, there looked at some Poussain paintings. Sooner or later, the same guard came into the Poussain room...to check if I was still using 'pastels'; but, this time I was only interested in looking/and, not drawing.

Eventually, I decided I'm 'wasting' precious time being here...as my purpose is not to 'look'; but, instead, to go and practice doing some actual 'drawing', instead.

What I decided to do was to move off to go visit another gallery, instead; namely, Tate Britain.

VISITED TATE BRITAIN

I went and visited Tate Britain...oddly enough, although I thought about using pastels inside there...I did not.

Instead, I walked into the 'drawing room'...where they provide visitors with FREE easels/paper/pencils...and, practised doing some 'pencil' drawings inside there. 

I also went and visited seeing 3 exhibitions.

Then, afterwards, I came back home.
