Spent a lovely afternoon for National Drawing Day in the United Arts Club on Saturday.
Frank Spiers provided music on pipes and low whistle.
There was drawing from a stunning sculpture by Liz O’Kane of Jesse. Also a human skull to sketch.
Plus drawing from models with @ducie.f and @marginman1
Thanks to all who organised and attended.

A large Scraperboard commission of five buildings.
I had to work on two separate scraperboard pieces, as it was bigger than the largest boards available.
Was quite happy with the way it turned out in the end.
