One of the final poses. That's me with a closed sketchbook - oops

I am currently having a short UK holiday to see my family. Last Sunday saw me in London for my first visit of the year. I arranged to meet artist Cathy Read and for us both to attend Dibujo London's theatrical life drawing in the Barbican Centre's conservatory. Cathy & I have been in contact for several years through social media. It was lovely to finally meet face-toface and to draw together.

I'm drawing 3rd from the left with Cathy next to me in the hat.

We started off with various warm-up drawing exercises followed by the story interspersed with poses (averaging about 10/15 mins each). I'm fairly pleased with the drawings I made, especially the direct watercolour sketches. Edit Thanks to local library facilities I have now added my drawings. Other photos here are by one of the organisers Karina Ellen. Thanks Karina.

With one of my watercolour sketches.

Please check out Cathy's paintings on her site cathyreadart.com, she's just started one inspired by our day out.

The east coast of yacht charter Italy is less famous for its sailing potential and thus is less traveled and less equipped from a marina point of view. The sailors from that region prefer to go along the Croatian coastline.

As you probably know already, the father of the groom speech is one of the most important ones in a wedding ceremony

Hello. My name is Mathew and I want to welcome you to my blog. I'm not very experience with the internet and stuff, but I started this blog to write a few articles about wedding speeches, especially the father of the groom speech.

Just when you couldn’t possibly imagine any more benefits, it turns out that one of the major Spirulina benefits is that the plant helps to prevent muscle breakdown and physical exhaustion, including after you have had an intense workout
