© Jennie Anderson.Hello people. Apologies for yet another chasm-like gap in posts, caused by a very welcome flurry of illustrative activity (yay) and a very unwelcome breakdown in internet connectivity (boo).
This piece was produced in a few hours using watercolours whilst taking part in the last Swindon Open Studios/ Heritage Open Days event, where I was asked to be 'illustrator in residence' within the Swindon Museum for one day. The museum has a crackin' Roman and Romano-British collection of artefacts, and I was particularly taken by some gorgeous bone, bronze and jet hair pins on display in the archaeological gallery.
I spent some time producing artefact illustrations of some of the pins, and on the day of the event, produced this illustration of a Romano-British woman having her elaborate 'hair-do' done. It was fun to work on this whilst talking to the public about what I do as an archaeological illustrator, and I'm pleased with the result. Watch this space though; I think this piece may end up being incorporated into another information poster. To be continued...
