I haven't been there for years but the Hirshhorn was my favorite but there are so many really wonderful museums in DC and your drawings are spectacular, as usual. Thanks so much for sharing your trip! These are really great and remind me of what great city Washington DC is for art.

Katherine: I don't know if the NGA supplies stools: good question. I didn't see any other artist's there. A few days later when I was at the Met in NY I saw folks on stools and even a whole class drawing sculptures. I did some sketches there too which I'll post soon. Thank you all!

I so enjoy sketching in museums as well. Do they have sketching stools in the museum at the NGA? I recommend coloured pencils for sketching in galleries - they don't see you as a problem and can get colour down while there. Super sketches.
