Conducted on a casual basis, most of our artists attend regularly, especially when taking advantage of the fortnightly change-over of models. With a new model every two weeks, you are presented with a new face and a different person to deal with every time which hones up your powers of observation and interpretation.
Good fun and who cares if we don't produce a masterpiece every time! We are a friendly mob and the interaction between artists and crits of one another's work is very helpful. Always done in the kindest way, of course.
The current convener is Agata Lelek who is present every Monday, and paints the first week, then is a tutor for the second week.
