Not sure if it's been on other channels watch a bit of it, more of a comedy show than a serious life drawing class..

It is new and was on  Last night on BBC 2 plus bbc four (which gave  viewers uninterrupted model pose if they wanted to take part in the challenges of sketching.)

I think this is something I will have a look at. Can't hurt I guess.

It’s been o n before and it’s awful   Stupid innuendo and couldn’t see a thing,  tried to find channel 4 and couldn’t so turned off in disgust.  A few years ago they did a series from the RA with art students it was brilliant .   That is not what life drawing is about.

Yes, that programme from the historic RA Life Room was brilliant! I do remember participating in it, but unfortunately it was just a one off programme if I remember correctly!

I tried last nights for all of three minutes! Why so gimmicky and why can we have nothing without so called celebrities?   You’re right there was a very good one from the RA a few years ago (with an odd addition of a Shetland pony)- was that the same one?

Things you do at 4am.  Have just Googled the programme with a Welsh Mountain pony and yes there was one. In fact a whole host of programmes on LD. will discover more on long winter nights. Great.

Glad to have given you something to do at 4am Sylvia! Yes of course it was a little Welsh pony not a Shetland, very well behaved as I recall.

I recorded the BBC4 version which has proper views.  It was the first of these programmes last year which encouraged me to start with art.  I had a sheet of photocopy paper and a propelling pencil  and managed to come up with a vague outline of a woman playing a cello. In the middle of something else at the moment so haven't started on the life drawing (which isn't really my cup of tea, but it's all good eye practice.) The one I won't watch is the Joy of Paining... each one is the same invented landscape, the same 'brushwork'.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Resurrecting The Joy of Painting is a bad move - fine listening to good ole' Bob if you just want to be relaxed into slumber, but his methods have nothing to do with painting in anything other than the gloop that Bob Ross Inc sells; as he himself said, regular oil paint just won't work with the methods he employed; and I think that company has swallowed enough of trusting people's money since his death.  But I can bore for Britain on this subject (and do): promotion of his methods makes me angry - it doesn't help people to make good art, it doesn't even help Bob's family, it just keeps a company going which does more harm than good.
