Surprise 18th Century Dragonfly in UCL London

Surprise 18th Century Dragonfly in UCL London

Visited the Grant Museum of Zoology with my friends, Mi and Leah. Went to look for wings and ended up discovering a wonderous dragonfly caught around 1865.

Very beautiful, but very difficult to find as at the back of the display cabinet
No problem, staff happy to get it out for us. Sketches were a bit stiff to start off, but soon loosened up, especially when using ink and water pen/brush to create lovely loose washes and movement. Cant wait to work these up into some sloshy paintings.
