Haven't seen this week's model for ages - he's a mime artist and holds himself like a ballet dancer - he's quirky and toned. Not sure about his brassy blond hair however (he used to be mousy brown). Class was very serious again today - the only usual crowd were M and me and a couple of others who aren't in the drinking gang. We got another snogging couple - he was european of some kind possibly German, he was attending class ONLY becuase his girlfriend was coming (this was weedled out of him by Ann who was trying to find out why he was drawing the lifemodel in felt tip pen and turning him into a cartoon character - not really a dedicated drawer...hum). At every pose change (this varied) they took the opportunity to have a kiss - sweet but sickly - we are here for the artistic merit of drawing from the human form. The snogging seemed so out of place when M and I were being dug at by another member of the class for making too much noise chatting. We did 15 mins, then lots of 5mins and finally got down to 30 second poses before doing a longer one again. Frantic. Its not helping my cricked back and shoulder but ne'er mind.
