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 importance of practicing drawing to develop skills, encourage selectivity, closer observation and are the things that artists usually observe. Concept does matter a lot in modern art on the other hand technical plays an important role in the normal art.
