Paris model vivant

Tomorrow evening (Sunday 14th of August) there is a session of life drawing in Paris 4éme with one of the cities best male life drawing models.

Bertrand will pose from 5pm-8pm. There's a good group already booked but we have room for a couple of others.

This Sunday the times are different to accomodate the model who is coming directly from his holidays to model for us. It means that Sunday is not a broken day for most of us and gives more time earlier in the day.
   
We can take 15 people comfortably. The apartment is a very comfortable and elegant space but there are limited seating arangements so if you have a folding chair, please bring it.
Please, RSVP 'only' if you are certain to attend.

The door code will be provided,  
after you RSVP.
 
When: 3rd session - 
14th August 5-8pm.
 
Where:

The apartment is on the second floor, at the corner of Rue St Antoine, right opposite the exit for metro St. Paul. Press the bell marked 'Runciman'. 
  
Come early, to be sure to be on time. Please RSVP.
 
Bring your own drawing materials and if you have one - a folding seat. Watercolours are fine but be prepared to leave things neatly after you. No spray fixative inside the apartment, thank you.

The maximum cost will be EU15 per person. 
 
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Plein air, sketching, exhibition

Hey, been doing lots of things on the qt. Yesterday, thanks to an artist friend who looked after the gallery, I was able to go out and join some others at Fontainbleau for Pleine Air Painting. It was really a great day. Well worth taking the time out for. I'm a little ill with a cold as a result because it was freezing but I'm still very glad I went.

Here are a couple of photos.

I've also been doing a lot of sketching on the metro in Paris. The portraits above are of people I've seen on the train recently. It's a nice way to spend a voyage. I might take a day out just to do that, particularly on longer journeys, perhaps to CDG airport etc.

There's an exhibition coming up. Yes, my own work at last, rather than other peoples. It's in Style Pixie gallery. A great, off the beaten track gallery which I really like. It has an underground feel to it. The curator is great and the directress is very inspiring.
