I've just done my first Life Drawing Workshop at Shrewsbury's English Bridge Studio. I reckon I was priviliged to do my first gig there. Its a very relaxed atmosphere and a very friendly bunch of artists. The organiser, Dave Bisset, couldn't be better to work with, gave me plenty of advice and helped me time the poses.
I'd done a fair amount of work to make sure it went well; spinning the poses to make sure they were visually interesting from most angles, making sure I could hold them long enough but it definitely helped having such a warm welcome.
Since then I've stayed in touch. One of their regulars, Ian Collett, has since helped me by doing the drawing that my business card and avatar are now based on. I've posted it in the gallery.
I'd like to thank Dave for trying out a newby, Ian for the artistic assist and everyone there for their warm welcome. They're a cracking bunch of people.
