Rachel modelled as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz at last week's On Model session. A little different from the last couple of weeks - this time I wasn't following a model sheet!

Life Drawing, 12th May
Vilidian modelled at this week's life drawing session. Unfortunately I'd run out of paper (more is on the way) but I drew in Photoshop instead. I tried to resist using 'Undo' but didn't always succeed ... It was nice having some close-up poses near to the camera.

Cats, big and small
Gestures of cats big and small from Line of Action. Some very quick 30 second gestures up to two minute studies.
