I actually managed to get organised with a pencil and some paper and get along to life drawing  for the first time in ages this morning. Always a character building experience when you’re rusty, but I bought a water soluble graphite pencil the other day, which I’ve never used before (I’m more of a piece of conte or charcoal and make a mess type usually) and decided to experiment, so had two excuses for stuffing everything up. In the end it didn’t work out too badly.
If you’re in Hobart, it’s a lovely group that meets at the Battery Point community hall 9.15 to 12.15 on Tuesdays – $20, byo materials and it includes all the instant coffee and biscuits you can eat (valid up to one biscuit).
