22.01.2022 There is movement at the station and the word is passing round, for DFL is coming back! Stay tuned for more details! (With apologies to Banjo Patterson)

22.01.2022 Interesting little find regarding portrait painting and ancient Egypt. Had you thought to connect those particular dots before?! http://www.smithsonianmag.com//The-Oldest-Modernist-Painti

21.01.2022 For your viewing pleasure - Victoria era astronomical paintings featuring the nude. Out of this world! Perhaps we ought to re-create one in the studio?! http://io9.com//in-the-victorian-age-astronomy-and-nudity-

21.01.2022 I understand where the criticism came from but there is a perfect beauty about his figures that can only be admired and gazed upon at length. Shall we try some classical nudes in class next year??

21.01.2022 The (other) moral of this story is that to gain a better understanding of the pose before you, strike it yourself! http://www.jimchines.com/2012/01/striking-a-pose

21.01.2022 Hell of a pose, that one!

20.01.2022 Nudie, rudie! Let's face it, womens' bodies are works of art; mens', a little more utiltarian. (With thanks to Elaine from Seinfeld for that little piece of insight!) http://online.wsj.com//SB100008723963904436841045780628132

18.01.2022 Hi, my personal Facebook account has been disabled because someone reported one of the photos I uploaded. I'm not sure if this will be permanent. Could we have some comments on what photos are acceptable? I would have preferred some sort of discussion rather than the immediate suspension of my personal account...

17.01.2022 Paintings they be, not photographs. I'm amused to note the absence of nipples in at least one of the paintings! One does wonder why the absence.. :-/ http://www.robineley.com/

16.01.2022 Hi artists - we're starting classes up again soon - what nights would people find the most convenient for the CBD area?

15.01.2022 Hold your pencils, turns out we've been going about this arts business all wrong! Fortunately, 'Diddy' is here to show us the correct path, as he himself says, 'I'm an artist. In every sense of the word.' Thank you, Diddy, for showing us a better way! ;-) http://www.dailymail.co.uk//Diddy-painter-recruits-naked-w

15.01.2022 Found this little gem. I don't think that life modelling is quite as easy breezy as the the article makes out but it's interesting to read of studio experiences from distant shores. http://www.tntmagazine.com//earn-bucks-naked-why-working-a

14.01.2022 The internet - always something differnet.. http://kotaku.com//how-a-naked-japanese-man-launched-endle

14.01.2022 In the same vein, so to speak, but a wildly different aesthetic- http://www.emmahackartist.com/

14.01.2022 Hootsuite is installed - maybe this will encourage me to use more social media

12.01.2022 And this for the sheer joy of looking at it! A drawing that fairly springs off the page with liveliness and clean, simple lines that keep your eye bouncing around the image! It's just fun to look at. Do you find the same? :) http://www.bluemonkeyworld.com//wanimate-life-drawing-ses/

11.01.2022 Nobody likes a smartie-pants with a pencil! I jest. Here are some meticulously detailed graphite drawings, notes on how the drawings were accomplished as well as some drawing tips from the artist. http://midtel.net/~imaginee/

11.01.2022 Some great photos

08.01.2022 Fret no longer about proportion! Dispense with notions of Vitruvian Man! The perfect figure has been found.. and it belongs to a woman. Of course! Elsie Scheel was 'discovered' in 1912 and, having long since departed this mortal coil, cannot bless our studio with her proportional perfection. Drat! http://gothamist.com//1912s_perfect_woman_was_from_brookl.

07.01.2022 A curious little find..

07.01.2022 How often have you heard the phrase, ' the landscape of the body'? Never more true than now, as evidenced by German painter, Gesine Marwedel. Marvellous turn of mind, this woman! http://www.gesine-marwedel.de/

04.01.2022 Hi guys, we are planning a class for the 18th but so far only 2 people have confirmed they are going. If we don't get enough attendees to at least cover the room booking we can't go ahead. So please let us know if you're interested!

04.01.2022 More incredible art - hard to believe these are paintings, amazing detail captured in the plastic bag

03.01.2022 And now for something a bit different- http://www.dailymail.co.uk//What-worlds-famous-paintings-w

03.01.2022 Sure is some pretty fine brushwork here but I'm not sure the models would take too kindly to being zipped open or plugged in! Do they get danger money, do you think?! http://flavors.me/chooosan#57d/tumblr

02.01.2022 Nope, not a photograph. This is an amazing portrait drawn by 29-year-old Portugal-based attorney Samuel Silva

02.01.2022 Tracy, June 4th, our first life drawing class since our return.

02.01.2022 Some hints on proportion of the figure, because why not?! A number of good points are listed here along with a method for starting your drawing (there are many). However, the author disagrees with Da Vinci, stating that his drawing of the Vitruvian Man is incorrect, so make of that what you will! Do the research, make your own drawings and tell us what you find! :-) http://www.realcolorwheel.com/human.htm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_Man

01.01.2022 *Gasp* Another theft for the art to mourn over. Hope the authorities can locate them.. :-O http://www.kunsthal.nl/en-31-270-Theft-in-the-Kunsthal.html

01.01.2022 Here's a pretty neat idea with lots of potential to borrow and take it places. Pretty sure you won't to be dragging your fridge places though! http://freezerfriday.tumblr.com/

01.01.2022 Hoping that everyone is high and dry and thumbing their noses at the flooding! :-)

01.01.2022 Perception is all in the looking, eh? The tool used to create these 'corrected' images is a bit of fun to play with.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk//How-insight-Van-Goghs-vision-s
