A bitterly cold morning and the Life model is surrounded by electric fires
and lying on a cushioned podium.
Then the fire alarm goes off.
Is it a practice ? Do we ignore it ? No.
We grab what we want to keep safe but no time for coats and we congregate on the terrace in front of the coffee bar/restaurant.
The tutor has waited for the model to grab a thin house coat, her warm coat and her shoes, which she is holding in her hands: she is barefoot.
She said that this is the sixth time that this has happened to her !
Three cheers for Life models !
They are getting thin on the ground around here. For £10 an hour, soon to rise to £12, they are refusing to make the journey to Bracknell.
This was a contrasting mediums exercise. I used acrylic ink, graphite and my usual hard pastels.
