I had a great time sketching at the Welcome
collection museum last Saturday and catching up with Urban Sketching friends I
hadn’t seen for a while. It was my first time to experience this fantastic
collection of medical curios on display and in the Ayurvedic Man: Encounters
with Indian Medicine exhibition. I spent
the morning sketching and appreciating the aesthetics of a wide range of
medical instruments like obstetrical forceps and amputation saws.
My favourite sketch of the day though was the
one below of a human body with all its internal organs beautifully carved from
wood. It reminded me of the game Operation I used to play as a child.
