Covid Life – Virtual Opening Saturday December 12

Through the Covid lock down I was able to continue life drawing via zoom. I was skeptical at first – how would it work not seeing the model in person? It actually had some surprising advantages. Firstly some of the models used multiple cameras so there was a greater variety of angles to draw the model from that would not have been available in the in-person sessions. The unusual angles provided a real challenge. Secondly I was able to work with a greater variety of materials than I would be able to in the in person group sessions. In my studio I was able to experiment with watercolour, ink and collage and anything else to hand. I hope online life drawing is something that continues when the pandemic ends. Xchanges Gallery has put together an online show of some of the work from these sessions “Covid Life” together with the annual members show “A Moment in Time”. The virtual opening for both shows will take place on Saturday December 12 at 4pm and you can register here for the Zoom Link.
