| The group |
Due to the time of year, we were a small group who met at Bait Al Zubair
museum to sketch on Saturday. I had a phone call from one person saying
they'd be late, only thing was that they were 7 days early! I chose
this venue as it has amazing artifacts in the main museum as well as an
old Omani house. Plenty to occupy us in this hot season when sketching
outside is impossible.

We started off in the main exhibition rooms and I decided to draw some jewelery - not the best choice for a warm up subject. The
Al Hirz are types of necklaces for carrying the Koran.

Next up, I attempted an antique coffee pot, which was not overly successful.

I did 2 more sketches in the old house, which I am also not happy with, before returning to the main museum to sketch some more jewelery.

Thank you to Bait Al Zubair and their staff for helping make it a great mornings sketching.
