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.
