Last night I did something I hadn’t
done for about 15 years and I went to a life drawing class. Ewen Duncan has been teaching adult art
classes for a while locally and whilst I’ve always fancied going along, I never
quite made the time or organised the childcare.
However, the opportunity came up for trying just three sessions of life
drawing and I thought why not.

| My first life drawing for almost 15 years |
Although, as you can see, I’m never
going to be a portraitist, I really enjoy life drawing and find it very
absorbing. It is meant to be very good
for your drawing skills as it is difficult to hide any errors as we tend to
know what a person looks like. I was
encouraged that I still had some drawing skills, but I do draw regularly, just
more abstracted. It will be interesting to see if I can improve over the three
weeks or not. And I'm hoping it will help improve the faces on my Unsung Muses.
Ewen runs his classes as Art4YouScotland and if you are local, they are well worth checking out. If you’re not local, he runs special weekends
and there is some lovely accommodation nearby!
