Let's get drawimg!

I must confess to feelings of guilt as I stepped into another Life Drawing class this evening.

For this is no longer taught at Glasgow School of Art or any of the major art colleges and I know that my former tutors would regard it as a retrograde step to once again pick up a piece of charcoal and draw from life.
Today its all about video and sound, yet there is something very satisfying about once again making marks on paper.

Maybe it’s the sense of artists all working together in a studio that is the attraction and Marcelle House, a former council building, in Alloa has been turned into artist studios.
Karen Strang, one of the artists, brought in a model and invited friends along this evening for a couple of hours Life Drawing.
