I have been snowed under with a job, Christmas, and a new niece (all very exciting but quite hard work) and that's meant my life drawing from last year has been put aside until now. First up are drawings of model Gina, from back in November!
Life Drawing
Life Drawing with Dog, 13th November
Nat and her dog Lapa were wonderful models at last week's life drawing session. I drew Lapa quite a lot, as you can see below ... That's me caught up!
Life Drawing with Cello, 30th October
