| Cornish Cream Tea at the Wallace Restaurant, Wallace Collection 11" x 16", pen and sepia ink and coloured pencils in Moleskine Sketchbook copyright Katherine Tyrrell |
Which is how come I came to draw paintings of Venice by Bonington and Canaletto in the Wallace Collection (to follow in the next post) - while everybody else was sketching at the Museum of London.
Duh!
Anyway, I had a great time followed by a visit to the Wallace Restaurant (run by the omnipresent Peyton & Byrne) for a very late lunch which turned into a Cornish Cream Tea instead as they'd run out of the dish I wanted for lunch.
I'll get verbally shot if "he who must not be bored while I sketch" sees this! Cream teas are banned - we're both on a diet!
The details are:
- on the left finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off (naturally!) - egg mayonnaise, tomato and cucumber, ham and smoked salmon
- a very nice scone and Cornish clotted cream and preserves (very nice!)
- Jasmine tea
It's a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon sketching........
You got a lovely sketch out of it, at any rate! Sorry about the mixup though, sounds like something I might do...
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!
ReplyDeleteA perfect mistake. Hope you didn't get caught out with the cream tea.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think that if you had taken your e-mail or mobile with you we may not have got to see this wonderful sketch. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sketch is really beautiful. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteso so interesting, absolutely love your take on things Katherine,maybe you could consider being a food writer/critic, I find myself wanting to try everything you portray and describe !!
ReplyDeletePleeeeeeeease can somebody ask me to be a food critics who does sketches!
ReplyDeleteKatherine - I was lucky enough to participate in a Draw London group last fall with Marcia Teusink, I'm wondering if it's the same group? I am back in the states now, missing sketching in London very much, so your sketches (and the memories of tea) are such a treat! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's not a name I know - so not our Draw London group.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the cream tea.
I am of course contemplating developing a series come the summer...... ;)
