When I first moved into Bristol in the late 1980’s it was great to discover the life drawing class that Sophie Howard used to run at St Werburgh’s community centre. It used to be run on a drop-in basis and cost something like £2.50 a session but it was [...]

I had a funny phone call from someone in the class who wanted to know if next week’s class was the last one of the winter term. (This was back in early December) They’d been driving in from Portishead the previous week and given up because there was a bad traffic jam. This was three weeks [...]

Paula joined the group fairly recently. We first spoke over the phone towards the end of last term. Then she left a comment on this blog although neither of us had, at this point made the connection that we were the same people. I just assumed she was from London, although she has actually [...]

It’s nice to be able to put some more life drawings up by Peri Taylor. She’s been coming to the class for a long time and was good enough to be one of the first people to donate some life drawings for this project. Because this is a blog of course, and because blogs get updated from [...]

Well, I’ll be back at Bristol Grammar School next week so it’s a temporary farewell to the Horfield space we’ve been using for the last few weeks. I’m already missing having my own door key, not having such a long drive to get there on Thursday nights and not having [...]

Okay, I know I’m wandering wildly off topic, but this is the part where you get to see my holiday snaps. To be honest I’d never really thought about running a painting holiday.

I’ve had these scans of Jon’s life drawings for a little while so apologies for not posting them earlier. I’ve been away in France running a painting holiday which was a lot of fun but still involved long hours sat at my computer screen putting together various handouts for the group. So even though [...]
