Practically the only face I’ve drawn this year — an exaggeration, but only just.
That being said, we’re about to move to the New Forest, which means even fewer familiar faces around me. So, apart from embedding myself in the landscape and doing a lot more plein air painting, I’ll be on the lookout for life drawing and portrait classes/open studios in the area. Preferably closer to the South coast/ West side.
If anyone has any recommendations, please DM me!
