Life Drawing Workshop
Following a very successful life drawing workshop in November, we are delighted to announce another one in July. We hope that this will give the opportunity for any members who were away at the last event, to come to this one.
The workshop will just be in the morning and will be held in a relaxed and informal manner.
As before, Judy Bugden and Jackie Sherlock (both SGA Members) have kindly agreed to share their knowledge and experience during the workshop, by giving out helpful hints and tips on an informal and relaxed basis and are happy to provide help if needed.
We have asked a female model to sit for us, for 10 and 20 minute poses.
