This Wednesday I had the pleasure of guest hosting my regular life drawing class, Covert Characters with the support of my friend and talented photographer, Nicole McGrath.

To start the session I gave a few tips on proportion and drawing faces. I also encouraged everyone to explore and enjoy themselves rather than stress about creating masterpieces. Life drawing is for practising observation and studying the figure with a model as inspiration and their form as a guide.

And we had a lovely model to inspire us – Tijana with her grace and crown of flowers looked very much like an elven princess!

Thank you very much to all the artist that joined us, I hope you found the session helpful as well as fun.

Cindy, the host and organiser of Covert Characters, and I are discussing the possibility of me teaching more classes in the future. So stay tuned for more about that 🙂
