So we have started back and there is no lack of renewed enthusiasm !!! Times have changed for this year 1 - 3pm on a Saturday now...
Above is a still life set up by a couple of my students (who I think created a beautiful 'still life') and they have drawn up and prepared their boards - serious paintings this term.

Other students have taken on some masterworks to conquer; Valezquez, Goya, Manet... hmmm gridding up can be a pain... but these little ones are jumping straight in.
Currently I am in the process of organizing a student exhibition of their fabulous creations ; probably at the Aldgate Providore ... and probably in a couple months... opening dinner... the works.
