CDG event 17 Nov 2012 - date confirmed

CDG event meeting on Saturday 17 November 2012 from 2pm.

Turner House Gallery, Penarth is currently showing photographic work by Jo Longhurst, based on gymnasts in training and competition. The Gallery has offered to host a CDG drawing session, give an introductory talk on the exhibition, provide tables and chairs if required.

There are some large photographs on display but also many very small images, a total of over 200 items.

We could aim to make quick thumbnail sketches of every one of these exhibits (human bodies in search of the perfect gymnastic performance) or just create whatever the photos inspire, we could sketch other people sketching, or even draw this interesting Victorian building.

This will be a warm, dry, indoor venue with friendly staff who are also offering us tea and biscuits!!!

No entrance fee, all free of charge.

Please bring your own drawing materials and sketch books.
