Sketching at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Part II

Last week I spent a day sketching sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I started in the Greek and Roman galleries and by the afternoon was in the European Sculpture collection. Both these galleries are very comfortable to draw in with lots of benches and chairs. Both galleries feature natural light sources. When I draw from sculptures I try and work from the same piece, but varying the angles.
