We could not have chosen a colder evening to host a life drawing workshop, with frost threatened for early in the evening the heating was pushed up high in the hall ready for our sitter.
There were around eleven people taking part in this workshop and our sitter arrived promptly for us to enable a full evening’s drawing or painting. There were different mediums being used, pastel, pencil or charcoal and acrylics, all going to look very different by the end of the evening.
For the first half of the evening we asked that she would sit with her back to one half of the hall so that those who wished to paint a back view were able to do so, whilst the other half could do a front view. We all got started very quickly, with all our easels poised and paints ready and waiting for action. For an hour we all worked away more or less in silence, Sharon, our sitter being perfectly still for us.
In the second half of the evening, Sharon moved so that we all had a different view of her and we nearly all started a different pose.
A good evening of painting with plenty of concentration and good results by some of us.
