When I sketch at the Natural History Museum at KU, everything is behind glass. But at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, lots of items are out in the open, so great care must be taken than no harm comes to the art.<br /><br />I didn't think to tell the guard that I was using a felt marker pen...no loose ink was in a cartridge. Not sure that would have mattered. As for watercolor pencils...I think the brush pen with water would be frowned upon too.<br /><br />Never hurts to ask first...or be quick about your sketching before the guards get there!!! (Okay...I'm not advocating doing that last part! I don't want to be banned from the museums!!)Warrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830906409506903322.post-66599800949835779142013-01-21T07:08:10.286-06:002013-01-21T07:08:10.286-06:00I'm fascinated by the differences between muse...I'm fascinated by the differences between museums with respect to rules. Was the anti-pen rule against ANY kind of pen? No Micron/Pitt pens? No fountain pens?<br /><br />I've been told that one of the museums in Montreal has a rule against using an eraser :-)<br /><br />I've been doing a lot of sketching at our museum of civilisation. There, I use fountain pens for the sketching and watercolor pencils and a waterbrush to add color. The guards come and watch me do this, commenting on how nice it is, so they must not see it as a threat.larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830906409506903322.post-87056536080399902612013-01-20T22:48:14.112-06:002013-01-20T22:48:14.112-06:00Live and learn!
