Diana's Weekly Blog Post

Dear Fellow Members

This week we continue with our life drawing, both Monday and Wednesday evening.  Last week on Monday afternoon, in addition to life drawing, Kathy ran a workshop with a clothed model, which was very successful, but now we are back to our 'natural' routine.  Wednesday could prove a full on day for you, as there is a drawing day arranged at Modern Art Oxford followed by life drawing in the evening.  If you haven't been to a drawing day, it is very informal and friendly, a good way to meet fellow enthusiasts.  Starting at 11 am and finishing at 3.30 pm it is a very pleasant way to spend a cold and wintry day.  Let us know if you can make it.

Tuesday I am going to the RA for Painting the Modern Garden:  Monet to Matisse.  I will let you know if it is as stunning as advertised.  As an antidote I will try to take in the Auerbach exhibition at Tate Britain.  So far, I cannot see why he is regarded as one of our best artists, but, as I am frequently told, there are many artists I don't understand and maybe it's time I learnt!

Trying hard
