Saying "Thank You!"

Welcome once again!

No works for you to cast your eyes over today - but a word of thanks instead.

Last Friday I went to a new venture for the Life Drawing Group; we have a model who is not only posing nude for us - but pregnant too! Our model will be making 4 sittings to our "studio" to pose for us at varying stages of her pregnancy, so it should prove to be a more than interesting time.

My work for that day consisted of a watercolour: it was done in very pale washes - almost entirely made up of pastel colours, but trying to do the model herself in slightly stronger colours to help make her stand out and to be the focus of attention. Perhaps when I have time this coming week I will get to post it online, but as yet I am undecided if I should re-work it or stick with the original..

However - my main reason for this posting is to thank Kathryn for her efforts in modelling for us. She was excellent - posing for almost 2 hours without having no more than a 5 minute break. Could any of you do that - dressed or not?  Even though a model gets paid for their work - it takes little effort to say hello and to thank them for their efforts. After all, if they didn't make the effort - you would not have the opportunity to work on such a subject, and it takes nothing to say "thank you".

Whatever your art - please enjoy it.
