Re. your comment on my blog, the BB...Hi, Katherine<br /><br />Re. your comment on my blog, the BBC has caught up with the strange notion of nude models on TV. It's posted an interview with a life model on what it feels like to be naked in front of artists.<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8143978.stm<br /><br />A nude photo too! Whatever next from Auntie?

If any of the old masters who drew such brilliant sketches in red chalk had seen this, they would have fallen about laughing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414841438368625114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-2386591218185020662009-07-08T05:50:40.805+00:002009-07-08T05:50:40.805+00:00I have to say I agree with you - but he was painti...I have to say I agree with you - but he was painting rather than drawing and as he said part way through you can't draw/paint life and talk at the same time!<br /><br />A sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with. I also boycott classes where the tutor doesn't understand how to talk quietly to students!<br /><br />I think they might have done better if they'd filmed the artist and then got them to do a voiceover.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-60435268794864149292009-07-07T18:46:29.015+00:002009-07-07T18:46:29.015+00:00I've just finished watching Humphrey Ocean. Hi...I've just finished watching Humphrey Ocean. His comments were very interesting, but I just cannot connect with his finished work. Maggi Hambling's work yesterday was terrific, and an example for all of us.bvpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804331299617862772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-76483202034620004752009-07-07T00:36:30.040+00:002009-07-07T00:36:30.040+00:00It looks fantastic!

Or maybe I'll just have to watch as many as possible when I get over the pond in a few weeks.<br /><br />I'm glad you pointed them out - thank you!Caroline Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217379847105793214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-90168517789717561452009-07-07T00:24:36.567+00:002009-07-07T00:24:36.567+00:00That's an interesting concept.

I wonder if it will continue and how many people participate. <br /><br />It would be great to have something similar this side of the world, as I can never find a life class that is at the right time for me to participate.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-61431408242862417082009-07-06T22:50:11.783+00:002009-07-06T22:50:11.783+00:00Interesting idea for a TV show.
