Practising Life Drawing in Swansea, Wales - 161218

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWZetfBkPdf4YGZ3Y32jJ7nRaBCE18SproKV98Fynnt3z/image.png)

I had an interesting afternoon at the Glynn Vivian Gallery with @tinygalaxy as we both attended a  Life Drawing lesson there.

It was a very crowded room, but we managed to find our little places and set to work.  The model wore very interesting costumes that made it extremely hard for me to draw; I normally avoid ‘detail’ but on this occasion I had to try and draw pleats and even a kimono.  The tutor was very helpful and encouraging.  

Above is my favourite drawing from the lesson - I took the photo at home as I forgot to take googly eyes on the mini tour :D

Below is a selection of the drawings which took mostly about 10 minutes each.  If I ever go again I need to take a sharpened pencil and I also need to use a bigger sheet of paper so I don’t run out of space.

On route to Swansea the visibility was really poor.  I was luckily travelling as a passenger so I managed to snap these photos :

Despite the weather the traffic was really busy :

oh... wow... nicely done... I wish I could draw :P

and don't forget to bring your eyes on-tour next time... trust me, they are made to be out in the wild and have you look around with extra curiosity ;) ... they also help discovering the hidden details...

Thank you, @googlyeyes.   My next trip out is tomorrow (to deliver the mini hats) so I will definitely take some googly eye friends on tour to the coast  😃

the photos of the street are a bit psychedelic - good you reached your home whole and healthy <3
And your sketches: wow! I would need so much more time... ok I would need a ghost sketcher :-D I am no longer practised in this kind of fast drawings and yours are fabulous <3

Yes, normally @tinygalaxy does all sorts of arty things with her photos but I achieved 'that effect' by chance and lack of focus 😃
I can't really do more detailed drawings - I get a bit fidgety ...
