We had an outstanding new model for our #lifedrawing session last night, Ruby. Graceful and full of character - and totally inspirational to draw!

I'd love to show you some more drawings of her, but the prudish algorithm might not approve. 🙁 So instead, you get a photo of me and fellow artist Hugh with just one each of our many drawings.

I wasn’t feeling particularly inspired or well for last night’s #lifedrawing session, but I went anyway and joined 12 other #artists, pencils poised, ready to tackle the unclothed human form.

It’s not just the model who is exposed when life drawing. It literally exposes the naked truth about an artist’s abilities. There’s nowhere to hide!

The excruciating doubt I sometimes feel as an artist is lifted when I’m life drawing - I prove to myself that I can do it. And at times not too badly. Plus, it’s immense fun!

I hope you enjoy watching the artists in action. It always feels like a kind of miracle...

Join us for our next session: 20 May at Mill Street Arts, 66 Mill Street, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire. Arrive at 6.45pm - we start promptly at 7pm. No need to book - just show up!

Our #LifeDrawing sessions are popular! We had SIX new artists turn up to have a go last night. One of them said "it's tricky, isn't it?" Yes! And that's the challenge - to get a single line 'right' and drawn with expression is what we all strive for and only rarely achieve.

Our next #FigureDrawing session is Weds 6 May at Mill Street Arts, 66 Mill Street, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.

Arrive at 6.45pm - we start promptly at 7pm. No need to book - just turn up!

Fabulous time at Post Road Art Center's portrait class yesterday. So much more enjoyable than photos. Tough though. This was the best of the bunch. #portraitclass #portraits #contecrayon #postroadartcenter #drawing #lifedrawing #lifeclass
