I understood that there was to be a life drawing session on BBC4 tomorrow but there is no reference to it on the Tellybox schedule. Does anyone know if this is happening?

Thanks Alan, that sorts it out. I had got it fixed in my mind that it was during the day!

Had a watch of this and scribbled a few general lines. Credit to all those who had a go and so good to see the variety of different styles and methods. I don't want to see photographic, portrait-like images as a camera would, but what the artist sees and draws through their eyes. The programme artists did this well and art was well represented. Best one so far.

I love the reclining lady, Tessa.  I gave up.  Varifocals, jumping pose cam, disaster.  I couldn't really see too well.  iPlayer is probably the way to go.

I like your cellist Gudrun. I did try that but mine wasn’t successful! There were some pretty difficult poses I thought but I suppose that’s the challenge. Good to have a go though.

Well done everyone, I had to go on laptop couldn't get the red button on catch up, first sketches were done from catch up then the rest were from laptop, much better, couldn't get the cellist right but really enjoyed the program apart from too much talking!!

Thanks Tessa, I loved doing the lady, it was such a lovely pose, it's the first time I've done life drawing, I did life costume first year at art college in the late fifties and I always liked that.

Good work everybody. Especially like the reclining lady Linda. I missed the back half of the show So might catch up tonight. Camera work was painful and red button a bad idea as you can only concentrate on one thing at a time........and  think they should leave the commentary to Lachlan.
