Hey guys and girls, new kid on the block here who hasnt been on CA for ages!! :yayca: (I am ashamed) but my creative juices are starting to flow back and need to get back into picking up a pencil and drawing since im more into 3D.

Molly pointed me into this direction of a UK thread, in Jason Manley's Colour Theory class, so im here to say HI!! :overhere:

[Atastrophea]

[Ghostbrush]

Anything happening in London as of next week? I moving down on Sunday :D

[dcorc]

Hi Alex -as I keep mentioning here, Koto and I meet up every friday afternoon/evening at the V&A 2pm onwards, until about 9pm, for sketching sessions from the sculptures there. You, and anyone else interested, are very welcome to join us for part or all of the time. We tend to do sketches of about an hour or so, then briefly mutually critique before going on to the next sketch, and also discuss related issues of drawing and painting, traditional and digital, and what we've been recently reading (online, and books).

(Hi, Kyle, and welcome!)

Dave

Exquisite Bodies
Anatomical Venus
30 July-18 October

In the 19th century, despite the best efforts of body snatchers, the demand from medical schools for fresh cadavers far outstripped the supply. One solution to this gruesome problem came in the form of lifelike wax models. These models often took the form of alluring female figures that could be stripped and split into different sections. Other models were more macabre, showing the body ravaged by 'social diseases' such as venereal disease, tuberculosis and alcohol and drug addiction.

With their capacity to titillate as well as educate, anatomical models became sought-after curiosities; displayed not only in dissecting rooms but also in sideshows and the curiosity cabinets of wealthy Victorian gentlemen. For a small admission fee, visitors seeking an unusual afternoon's entertainment could visit displays of these strange dolls in London, Paris, Brussels and Barcelona.

This exhibition explores the forgotten history of the anatomical model, which with its unique combination of serious science and fairground horror provides a rare insight into 19th-century beliefs about the body.


Anyone fancy a CA trip to this sometime - sounds like it might be interesting :)

~^-^~

[Molly]

Hey Mazz - looks interesting!

[shipwight]

dont forget living with dinosaurs is coming soon in august

[Molly]

Welcome Armada!

[sir_lean]

Hi Uk CAers! Had no idea this was here, will there be a sketchgroup in London sometime? anyone in north London?

[- Armada -]

Thanks Molly :)

Just to let you know, dont live near London, to be able to keep meeting for these sketching gatherings but hoping to move down there in November and will meet up more then.

For the moment will pop in this thread to keep up to date with whats going on.

[dcorc]

will there be a sketchgroup in London sometime? anyone in north London?

Every friday, V&A, from about 2pm onwards (look back over the last 3 or 4 pages of posts for more info). Nando's meetings occur from time to time (haven't got to one of those myself, as yet).

I'm in Bounds Green.

[sir_lean]

thanks dcorc!

Will definitely try and make it this Friday, always wanted to go to one of these things but didn't know there was a regular group. Also Nandos, what could go wrong haha. :)

[Freddy Scribbles]

Hey folks,

Don't jump up and down yet because this is all very tentative, but would any of you be interested in attending a lecture or two given by Glen Vilppu? Everything's still very much in the air as I'm not the best business person in the world. But I've been chatting with his wife, and they're both interested in coming out to England as Glen's never been and it's been awhile since she's been out this way.

Probably going to try to work it out so they're based out here in Bristol. What I'm trying to gauge now is if people would be willing to travel out to Bristol for such an opportunity.

[Ghostbrush]

Dcorc - hey hey I am now in london, been sketching alllllllll day in leicester square and the british museum, its been so much fun! see you friday at the V and A

I'd definitely be up for it!!! Even though I'm not back down in Bristol till the end of September, I would be sure to make a special trip! I'm sure many people would be interested too. Ill see if can get the attention of a few Bristol based friends :)

I'd make the trip to Bristol for that

[Freddy Scribbles]

Good to see there is a definite interest. As I said, don't get your hopes up because nothing's got the go ahead yet. The only thing right now is the Good Teacher's attention and interest. But I will keep everyone posted. It is unlikely to happen before spring 2010.

As I said...I'll keep you posted.

[Mr Man]

It might be an idea to hook him up with uwe perhaps? They might be able to negotiate some sort of set up in the life drawing room? Just a thought, as It could save money in terms of booking a private space or whatever.

You might save a few quid on room hire, but UWE would expect their students to get first dibs on attnedence, so it would be harder for non-students to get a look in.

Me and my art friends would BE SO BLOODY UP TO MEET GLEN. Whooyah!!!!

[B u r l]

i'd be up for the Glen Vilppu in Bristol.

[Sunseaker]

Vilppu? Neato! Count me in.

[Freddy Scribbles]

I've thought about UWE. Although to be perfectly honest, I think I can get something better than what they've got to offer. I have to talk more with Mrs. Vilppu to find out exactly what sort of set up Glen would need. Also going to talk to the Watershed as I know UWE's hosted events there and they've got a very nice space. So much planning to do. Need to find a legit business partner as well. Hence why I'm looking at Watershed.

But we'll see. Cross your fingers and hope like hell I can pull this off. Actually planning on relocating back to LA in the next year specifically because he's based out there as is the Animation Institute...and a whole bunch of my under-grad buddies.

The important thing right now is that there's a definite interest. Makes things much more positive.

[Smarty]

Glen in here in Bristol would be so sweet! Would definately attend.

[DannySketch]

Yep count me in to come if it can be arranged!

:)

[Shantih]

That'd be awesome :)

[Atastrophea]

ME!!!!!!!

Ditto :D

~^-^~

[Mr Man]

There is a private life drawing campus type thing in Bristol called Drawing school which could be another possibility for Glen. http://www.drawingschool.org.uk/index.asp
I attended there last year It's a nice place with plenty of space. Just throwing around ideas :)

[Ghostbrush]

Glen. Bristol. nuff said, I am there.

[Sunseaker]

Oi, Dan/Ghost, or, anyone who knows, the Lifeclass in Stockport is twice a week right? Thursdays and...? Think I can make it now, would be swish!

[Ghostbrush]

Sunseakeryeh monday night is clothed figure, thursday night is nude, first thursday of the month is quick poses, the rest of the time its a 2 hour pose. £3 a session! 25p a cuppa tea and a biscuit :D

Dcorc great to meet you finally, hopefully be back on friday after class, see you there.

[Hybridstar]

I'd be very much interested in a Vilppu session, would be great.

Also a little quezzie for all the uk pro's out there. Wondered where the best p[lace to look for art work jobs would be, if there is any particular site or publication in particular. I sell via galleries and self promote portraiture and illustration but still dont have an agent to this date. Been a bit resistant but it's getting harder to put the leg work in to find work in this current climate.

Will be doing an MA in painting hopefully this year or next in Winbledon or the Royal College so need to save some serious dosh!!!!!

[Molly]

Glen. Bristol. nuff said, I am there.

ME TOO!!!!!!!

[BigglesB]

Hey!

I don't really know anyone on CA yet, but it's great to see there are other Londonners on here : )

Will try to get down to the V&A one Friday and say hi, a friend was working there in the restoration department until recently but she's gone back to France now.

You can also catch me in the doodlebar in Battersea pretty much every Tuesday for life drawing classes (aka 'drawing gym').

If anyone's interested, you can see some of my stuff on www.bigglesart.com

Hope to meet you guys soon!

Hey Biggles, welcome to the thread. Every now and then some of the London lot meet up at Nandos over by London Bridge for food and a drawing session, just keep checking this thread every so often.

The doodlebar sounds interesting. I pass by Battersea on my way home from work so I may look it up and drop by sometime.

[danlambert]

Oi, Dan/Ghost, or, anyone who knows, the Lifeclass in Stockport is twice a week right? Thursdays and...? Think I can make it now, would be swish!
You should definitely come, I'll be going on Thursday for sure. They got eisels and boards and stuff there, and free big sheets of paper. People are pretty friendly to.

[Freddy Scribbles]

Totally random and un-art related...although it may make the health food artist's life a little bit easier...

But for those in the Somerset area, there's a lovely local food providers that does home delivery. I got my first batch from them last Thursday, and they're lovely.

So for those of your arty folk out there who enjoy cooking but don't necessarily have time to hunt down a farmer's market, this is a great way to still get the good stuff without going too far away from work and the computer.

[shipwight]

now if only they provided similar services in central london but for affordable prices.

[Ghostbrush]

yo anyone wanna draw in London tonight? I finish class at 4, will be drawing in a street or cafe etc, depends on weather! if you do - 07894114018 - tell me who you are tho!

peace

[BigglesB]

Hey Ghostbrush,

Come to life drawing at the doodlebar (http://www.thedoodlebar.com)!

6:30-8:30, £10 + small donation for paper & materials. Drinks are roughly £2.50 or so. Nice bunch, usually pretty quiet.

I'll be the one dressed like I should be sitting in an office.

[danlambert]

That place looks incredible. Insanely jealous!

What class you taking Alex?

[Ghostbrush]

ah shud have have rang me, I been out all day since i wrote that message!!!!! no worries another time, cheers tho!

[Ghostbrush]

DAn - doing a short course in anatomical structure, pretty interesting and useful stuff.

countdown to Atelier... 1 month and 3 weeks! ish :D

[Sunseaker]

Ah, you guys are so lucky to have such a neat looking place nearby!

Good luck with the Atelier Alex! :D Remember, sleep is for the weak!

Dan, I'll be at Life Class this Thursday, if I can find it! High time I got my act together.

[Molly]

Freddy Scribbles :) - why did you delete the thread you made in the Lounge? I dont think enough people commented on your questions...Granted, you may have all you need, but, there are the European CA members that would be interested so getting their opinion may help you make yours....

Whats the attendance size you wish to attract? - this may help with your cost decisions. The more the merrier, but then, a more intimate class would be better for attendees and I'm sure, Glen himself;

You mentioned Glens fees being $30 per day, but on his site, they are much much higher. I'm a little confused with this, any chance you could clarify, because that is extraordinarily low, compared to the site...

Apologees for the rant, it's just a fantastic opportunity to be in a lecture with Villpu - Im just adding my two pennies...

Mx

[Black Spot]

http://www.lifedrawingsociety.co.uk/ (London) are doing £30 a month and you can go to all their life drawing classes - 5 a week. I'm going tomorrow.

Cool, it's pretty easy to find. Come out the station and head down the road in front of you. Then turn right up the highstreet when you get to Mcdonald's and walk up the hill untill you get to the college. It's on the right hand side. If you get lost just give me a ring or a text or something. Starts at 6.45.
See you there!

Molly - apologies for the confusion - think it was a typo. If you look at his prices - $250-300 for a 5 to 7 day stint, it does work out to be quite inexpensive - something like 40-60 per day.

As for closing the thread - at this point in time, there's not a whole lot of wiggle room for outside input. Until things get more solidly positioned, final price for attendance will be dictated by estimated costs. At the moment, I'm in a position that requires that I "play it safe" and make sure my special helpers are comfortable with any investment they make. Which is why the figure is quite high at the moment until I can more solid figures financially.

As for the rest...

Looks like I've got some help on board, and everyone I'm working with is really positive about bringing Glen to Bristol. The same "everything's still up in the air" thing still stands.

Because I'm still in the very early stages of planning with Glenn and my business associates, I don't have too many details as of yet.

However, (if I things go as planned) it looks like the format will be a four day workshop over a bank holiday weekend sometime in spring 2010. The structure for workshops is anticipated as being a 30-60 minute lecture/demo in the morning after which Glenn would help individuals. Each day would be 6 hours - three in the morning. Three in the evening with an hour break for lunch. Class size will most likely be capped at 25-30 people per day. Attendance would be available either for the full four days or on a day by day basis.

With any luck there will the opportunity for extras including dinners with Glenn. And possibly a larger demo/lecture for a larger audience.

At the moment we're looking at prices ranging from 125-200 per day. I would like to make this more affordable, and personally intend to aim towards the lower end. However, I can't make promises. I'm also hoping to find a hotel that will offer a deal to participants. I don't have an estimate for "Dinner with Glenn" prices yet. Nor is there an estimate for a general audience lecture.

I know that the price is high. But there are a ton of costs involved in this venture.

For now that's where things are. Once I'm in a position to give you more information, I'll do so. Right now, that's the tentative game plan.

Please have patience. Be aware that things could still fall through.

If anyone has further questions or comments (or just feels like saying hello) - I'd prefer you contact me via private message or feel free to email me at freddyscribbles at gmail dot com. I'm more than happy to hear your input, and of course everything will be taken into consideration as I really want to make this a fabulous opportunity for UK artists. But please understand that this isn't workshop-by-committee.

[dcorc]

Either way I shall be there with bells on when you give the signal!

[Sunseaker]

I am free of summer project now. I failed, I know it.

Anyone up for Manchester doodles some time?

Life drawing. Tomorrow. Stockport. Be there or be square

[Sunseaker]

Life drawing. Tomorrow. Stockport. Be there or be square

Can I do both?

[danlambert]

Can I do both?

I'll allow it.
It's a clothed model tomorrow, but theres usually fewer people so you can get close enough to do a portrait, or several.

[Sunseaker]

Neato, I shall try and make it, I actually have a lift back, so all should go well.

[Atastrophea]

THAMES FESTIVAL (http://www.thamesfestival.org/weekend/highlights/) 12th & 13th SEPtember

Some of us are going. It will be fantastic judging by past experience and this years events. Burlesque, Circus, Fire and lots of interesting cultural performances abound and seems like the perfect excuse for another London sketchmeet!

BE THERE! (Being square is just not an option on this one ;) lol )

As for Nandos, I'll finally be able to make it for once. I'm trying to claw my life back from work so hopefully I can devote more time to art.

[Ghostbrush]

Khan, ur a lucky man :) congrats


sweet! Nandos! see you all there

[daveneale]

Will hopefully be able to pop over breifly, can't make it for the whole night though-some rapid chicken eating will ensue if I do.

I hope you know how many hearts your breaking Mr Muftic

[timpaatkins]

Ok guys, im on my way, ill be in London on the 16th to the 24th of september. Whats goin on in old smokey?

[BigglesB]

Congrats Chupacabra!

Damn, think I'm playing squash on Thursday. Will see if I can make it down though for a bit, if that's cool? Would be good to meet you guys : )

[shipwight]

indeed. and if you guys are not sure where this nandos is, the locations were on a few pages back or i'm sure Dave can chicken the venue up :)

[Quicksilver]

Khan and Tihana, congrats!! :D

James, did you get my message on FB? I'll be in London on Sunday but I'll be meeting up with a friend to see a show. If you're free, would it be alright to meet up for a bit for le pooped-out harddrive exchange?? Thanks. :)

[Freddy Scribbles]

k folks...quick update

Bank Holiday weekend or another regular weekend for Vilppu?

Looks like we're scaling back slightly so we can get butts in seats and pay for everything. So will probably be a two day thing with little bonuses on either end instead of a four day stint.

But yeah...been advised against going for the bank holiday. What's your opinion?

[daveneale]

People usually make plans on bank holidays-venues get busy, and trains tend to go bat-shit crazy (in the not working sense). I personally don't mind, but would guess a "normal" weekend may be better? Hurrah, for cheapness too-glad there is progress:)

[shipwight]

normal is the wat to go. bank holiday = suicide

[Ghostbrush]

Just reposting the awesome directions to Nandos

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2350848&postcount=9205

[daveneale]

Planning on getting there at 7....will be skooting off about 8.30ish though...see you there :)

[Molly]

Bollocks - cant make Nandos, as I have some storyboards to finish for Friday :( which, is my birthday... :( :( getting old man, getting old....

Kan! - Congratulations matey, shes a beauty, all the best for the future for you both!

[Freddy Scribbles]

Booking has opened for the Welcome Gallery's life drawing events.

http://www.wellcomecollection.org/exhibitionsandevents/events/WTX055968.htm

I'll be in London Saturday morning 10 October.

[vaughany_boy]

Nandos sounds good. Should be there a bit after 7.

[shipwight]

guess we can have a super duper quick meet then!

[aefx]

You guys going to the V&A tomorrow?

[dcorc]

Yes, V&A after 2pm tomorrow. Sculpture galleries, rooms 22-24, all welcome :)

[vaughany_boy]

I'll probs get to the V&A about 2.30 - 3 oclock, provided the circle line doesn't eat me.

[BigglesB]

Really good to meet you guys last night, sorry for disappearing so early. Will bring my sketch book next time : )

Shipwight, I'm very jealous of the straight lines in your drawings. I know I've got a massive problem with them, so I'm currently doing loads of "draw two dots, try to connect them with a perfect straight line" exercises. Hoping that I'll get something not awful eventually, any tips?

Wish I could come along to the V&A today, damn job!

www.bigglesart.com (http://www.bigglesart.com)

[dcorc]

Wish I could come along to the V&A today, damn job!

We are there til about 9-9.30 pm, so you could perhaps still make it for an hour or two after work if you're somewhere in London (and not too tired, of course).

I keep missing these Nandos sessions, alas. My excuse this time is that I've just stepped back into a Mod post at WetCanvas, so have spent much of the last 48 hours getting up to speed again there. I promise I'll make a point of being at Nando's next time!


Dave

[Koto]

Congrats, Khan!

Had a quick read of the last few pages of the European workshop thread, lol, looks like I got some time to save some cash for it since it doesn't look like it's happening in the next month or so. Who's considering going?

[Mr Man]

Congrats, Khan!

I am considering it. If it is on when I'm at university then I probably wont go, but it all depends. Everythings a bit up in the air at the moment for me.

My main reason for going this time would be more for business purposes. It'll be good to get some solid feedback on my portfolio from games companies and professional artists, as the end of my university days are close at hand and the necessity of a job is becoming more real.

[shipwight]

Am heading to Tokyo Games Show and other game conferences then. Europe is always a great blast to experience, so if you can afford it. Try it out!

[vaughany_boy]

Sorry I didn't make it to the V&A yesterday afterall, I had to sort out uni re-inrollment and student loan forms as a matter of extreme urgency.

Being a full-time student (assuming those forms arrive in time so that I actually am still a student) then in depends on the exact dates and cost but I definately want to go to the euro workshop. Especially if it's in Berlin.

[aefx]

I'll definitely be going when they can sort things out. Kinda disappointed things didn't work out earlier in the year while the weather was warm.

[danlambert]

If I can get a little more money together I'll be going

[Koto]

I hope it all works out, would be great to hang out with you guys for an extended period of time!

Dave, Alex, I'm gona have to bail early on Friday, around 5pm but will be there earlier to make up a bit of time (hopefully).

[dcorc]

OK, I'll try to get to the V&A by 2, this friday, perhaps earlier if I can. :)


Dave

[Sunseaker]

Hey all, there's a slight chance I'm going to London on Saturday for a shindig, just wondering if there is anywhere neat to draw, like maybe the V&A that wont be too teaming at a weekend? Hopefully I'll be far too worse for wear/covered in zombie blood to even attempt it, but you never know.

[dcorc]

Just a reminder, usual V&A sculpture rooms sketching session, 2pm onward, for anyone who'd like to join us :)

[Ghostbrush]

be at Waterhouse in about 2 hours :D come say hi if your there

Alex

[Ghostbrush]

CORRECTION! went british museum... never do that on a saturday! never! rammed!

[timpaatkins]

So Ill be in london from the 18th to the 24th. Who wants to meet up, and where? Im staying in a hostel on Edgeware road. Im up for anything guys. Ill be doing some painting in Hyde park, thats for sure, and i need some more tips on cool places to paint in london.

[Ghostbrush]

@Timpaatkins - Cool, I am not overly sure on cool places to paint, but I am sure there are some people here who can help with that :)

If you like, come sketching with us friday night, sure details will be posted here this week :)

All the best

Alex

[Pixiebrush]

I'd be up for hanging out some time.. If your just after park painting I'd suggest regents park over Hyde-much prettier. I've been wanting to pop over to canary wharf at night for a while to do some DS sketches of pretty lights and cool huge buildings-so if anyone else is interested it'd be good to get a posse (week nights would be better as the Jubilee will be running.

It's been mentioned a few times in this thread but you may want to check out the huntarian for awesome pickled animals-great for creature study

St katerine docks is a nice place to sketch pretty water/boats/little bridges-plus the tower of london and tower bridge are super close

There's loads more cool places-depends on what you want to paint:)

-D

[Ghostbrush]

Canary wharf at night sounds like a splendid idea, I would really like to do that

[Pixiebrush]

Canary sounds like a plan. Tweet.

[no87]

awesome meeting with a few of yah on friday. was loads of fun :D

[vaughany_boy]

I've been wanting to pop over to canary wharf at night for a while to do some DS sketches of pretty lights and cool huge buildings

I was saying that to my housemate just the other day.
Would definately be up for that.

[daveneale]

Exellent, how does Monday the 21st sound to everyone? you free then timpaatkins?....hopefully we'll get a warm night

-D

[Ghostbrush]

21st suits me! I can make that :)

[Koto]

Good meeting you too, no87, hopefully catch you next Friday.

Can't make Canary Wharf :( Looking forward to seeing everyone's sketches from there now!

[Ghostbrush]

Yeh gonna take my DS down there :D

Its pretty awesome for sniper drawing too, lots of suits bustling around

[Badger]

How are thoughts for a UK meet sometime soon? i figure you students will be getting your loans through and it's been a while since oxford.

-B-

[lefran]

i'd be up for that, its been a while since it was london actually right?
Or would anyone like to suggest anywhere else?

[Kan Muftić]

LUndUn, please!

[Molly]

Man! missed a meet! homeless atm, and looking for work, may not be able to join you guys for a while until Im sorted out...
Mx

[timpaatkins]

So you guys up for meeting up in a pub on saturday afternnon to sketch and maybe draw up some plans for some paintin sessions? lemme know the pub and the time and ill be there. my number is 0046 701 44 85 02. call me!

[Ghostbrush]

London hint hint

Has anyone been to the Huntarian? its an awesome place to sketch, lots of interesting and gross stuff.

Possible place to go sketch on a meet, not sure how many people attend the meets tho, might be too many to pack in, its rather quiet in there.

@Tim - Yeh I will be in the city on Saturday, I will ring you if you fancy meeting

[Bones Weep Tedium]

I'd be up for a London meet.

[Badger]

Has anyone been to the Huntarian? its an awesome place to sketch, lots of interesting and gross stuff.


Yeah we've done huntarian before, numbers vary, though 10-15 average i'd say.
-B-

[Ghostbrush]

cool, well I will be cool to go anywhere :)

[BigglesB]

Anyone here go to Tony's life drawing meetup thing? There's a Burlesque one on Saturday up in Angel that sounds cool (link)

Also quite keen on the Dynamic Posing CA session that looks to be around 6-9 our time.

So 4-6 in angel or around 9-10 elsewhere and I'll be there : )

[Kan Muftić]

Well, National History Museum is huge. Possible waiting in the queue but def. worth it.
And of course, it's full of wonderful stuffed creatures.
Even more important than that for me is the socializing part, not drawing. So a good, spacey pub may be our first priority.

[Ghostbrush]

Lock tavern in Camden?

As an alternative: what about the British Museum, specifically the Aztec exhibition looks to be amazing(write up here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/17/moctezuma-aztec-ruler-british-museum). There may not be room to draw in the exhibition area but there's a ton of other great stuff there to draw.

[timpaatkins]

ill be at the national gallery ALL day tomorrow from about 12 oclock till closing, shot me a text if you are going. id be up for a break and some sketching with fellow peeps. my number is a few posts up! thats one amazing museum! Angel sounds good too, but i d almost rather meet up at that pub in camden. What do you guys say, around 4 oclock? sound good?

[dcorc]

Just a reminder to those regularly (or semi-regularly) meeting up on fridays, that today we are at the National Gallery (not the V&A, this week), from around 2pm onwards.

Tim, I'll send you a message/phone you My mobile is 077 2454 7236.

Coolio! Hope the weather stays like this, should be a nice change from museum sketching.

Can't join you today as I'm at work :sadface:

[daveneale]

When and where do you guys want to meet?....I'll be getting the tube from London Bridge, I figure we could head over any time after say 7, when the swarm of suits should have dissipated slightly (plus 7.03 is when the internet says sunset will be:P)

[Ghostbrush]

awesome, shall we meet outside canary wharf station, on that wall with the water behind, I will be there earlier I imagine :)

see you tomorrow

Alex

[vaughany_boy]

That sounds good. See ya then.

[timpaatkins]

Good to see you guys too! Ill be there tomorrow evening. Also ill be in regents park painting during the day.

[Rob!T]

Hey, We've all arrived at Bristol for freshers so If anyone wants to meet up anytime after freshers finishes that would be fun, I'd love to start the year with a CA meet.

[lefran]

me, danny sketch, smarty, shantih and our friend kate are meeting to sketch tomorrow afternoon, welcome to join if you want?

[aefx]

In case anyone was interested, there's an interesting blog where an artist had some of his paintings submitted for analysis. A number of people view the pictures,have their eye movements scanned then and recorded by a computer. The artist then comes up with a number of interesting points about composition and how pictures are read: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/

[Atastrophea]

Hello hello :)

If any Oxford bods are at a loose end tomorrow I'm probably going to be pootling around Oxford doing some sketching from 2pm onwards...

~^-^~

[timpaatkins]

Damn it! I was in oxford 4 days ago!

[daveneale]

Was cool DS doodling last night-need to do that more often!...

Tim, what was the name of that Lucas arts dude's blog again?

-D

[timpaatkins]

http://nathanfowkes-sketch.blogspot.com/

[Ghostbrush]

Have a safe journey back and enjoy your new studio :) eat nuts!

Alex

[timpaatkins]

[no87]

that was fun last night! i really want a ds now. mission to raid sisters room for her's will begin shortly :D

[Koto]

Really nice sketching with you lot, had some good laughs! Canary Wharf at night was both awe inspiring and a bitch to draw from :D, lets do it again sometime.

Thanks for dietary tips, Tim, I'ma gona buy me some nuts for lunch today.

[Ghostbrush]

*pulls out a small water sprayer....* - thanks for that Tim

[Rob!T]

Hey Fran. Damn, I'm having trouble with my internet so I didn't see your post in time, but you did mean this afternoon right? not tomorrow..

[lefran]

it was yday, but we'll probably do something weekly, usually a wednesday, not tomorrow though but maybe next week

[Rob!T]

sweet, thanks. I'll be there for sure.

[lefran]

btw if your in halls, make sure you have the proxy settings are correct in advanced internet options, you need a line of address in connect via
should find it on the uwe website somewhere, you wont be able to get on msn etc otherwise, loads of people had that problem last year so i went round a few peoples ocmputers to fix it hehe
if thats not the issue then ignore me hehe

[Mr Man]

I will be back in Bristol next week. We'll have to get these sketchmeets on the go again :)

It's gonna be a busy year....

[lefran]

Ok well shall we say 7pm at the King Bill next wednesday?
For those who've just moved if your not sure where it is, its on King street (the cobbled one), next to queen square, its by the old duke and the apple

[Mr Man]

Sure I'm up for that Fran if I'm free then. I'll let you know in advance :)

[Freddy Scribbles]

Sounds good

Are any of the Bristol folk taking the open life drawing nights at Bristol Grammar School?
Definitely great. This will be their second week.

Something like 6 models to choose from.

[Mr Man]

Ive heard a couple of good things about it. I attended the Life drawing classes at the "Drawing school" last year. It made a change from the models at bower ashton who do the same god damn poses.
So If I can afford it and have the time I might tag along :)

[Badger]

Are any of the Bristol folk taking the open life drawing nights at Bristol Grammar School?

Yeah, i attended there last term they ran. Really nice range up there and a super friendly group, they get the badger thumbs up.

If anyone is near aylesbury, i'm attending their life drawing at the queens are centre or something, untaught, great price for a long run of it, drop in too.

-B-

[Freddy Scribbles]

I don't have the number on me at the moment,a nd I don't know if there are any places left, but I'd recommend the Thursday night sessions at Bristol Grammar School.
Tonight was the second week.

It's 50 quid for 10 weeks. Have seen a few good artists. Lots of people who just seem to be there for the love of drawing. Which is good. Wish there were more pros though.

Still..great to have the choice of six odd models for 5-10, 15, or 1 hr poses.

[Ghostbrush]

V and A today? I wont be able to stay till 10, but wil certainly be there for a good few hours :D

Alex

[dcorc]

Hi Alex - yes, V&A today, 2pm (or thereabouts) onwards :)

Dave

[Sunseaker]

You know this Berlin thing? When the dates are announced, is anyone interested in going? Depending on costs I'm gonna blag time off uni, just wondering how many UK peeps are thinking to go.

[BigglesB]

Hey, really good to meet everyone on Friday. See you all again soon : )

[Freddy Scribbles]

Don't want to go. But going anyway
Any Bristol folk - pop me a text if you're off to Bristol Media Tuesday

I'm planning on going, and so is Alex I think

[lefran]

ok so reminder- King Bill tonight, shall we say 7:30 instead of 7?

[Rob!T]

sounds good Fran

[Freddy Scribbles]

7:30 sounds a lot better. I may wander down but I reckon it'll be closer to 8 for me. Gotta get some stuff sorted before I can get away. Oy. Busy busy

[lefran]

okie dokie, we usually sit upstairs, but i guess it'll be obvious as we'll be the ones with the sketchbooks :)

[dcorc]

London sketching people (V&A regulars, and anyone else interested) we're doing a bit of plein air painting today, meeting Hyde Park Corner tube station 2pm, or phone (not text!) me on my mobile 077 2454 7236.

I'll be bringing some oil-painting supplies and can share with 1 or 2 others, including a few boards, but if you have a pochade box or similar, or other suitable painting or sketching materials please bring them along.


Dave

[Koto]

Awesome, see you there. I take it we're heading to the V&A after?

[dcorc]

I was thinking probably not, actually, as I'd doubt they will let us in with paint. I was thinking more in terms of continuing to sketch outdoors. I'll be bringing alkyd oils which are fast-drying, so that it shouldn't be a problem getting home with your painting as it should be more or less touch-dry by home-time, if we end painting by late afternoon/early evening :)

[Koto]

Fair enough, I'll make sure to wrap up warm!

Sunsets today at 6:33pm according to the BBC.

[Koto]

Thanks for letting me try out oil paints, dcorc! Had a ton of fun with them, looking forward to Summer now :)

[Pixiebrush]

Thank you ever so much. Fantastic fun, am most definately a convert!

[Mr Man]

Steampunk Exhibition in Oxford!

Attention ladies and gentlemen, starting on oct 13th 2009, till feb 21st 2010 there will be a Steampunk art Exhibition.
This would be a great place to hold the next sketch meet, what say you?

http://www.steampunkmuseumexhibition.blogspot.com/

[lefran]

[Ghostbrush]

Dcorc - Thank you so much for Plein air painting day, had awesome fun and was great to get back into oils.

Vodka and black pudding next time :D

All the best

Alex

[Bendragon]

Whoooaa! That exhibition looks amazing! I'll try come along to that. November sounds ok to me.

[Freddy Scribbles]

That does look rather awesome.

[lefran]

indeedy, steam punk exhibit would be awesome

King Bill again this Wednesday at 7:30
Hope to see you guys there again!

[lefran]

ok well seems like no one can come this week, so it would only be Rich, me and Chloe.
Seeing as me and chloe live literally round the corner from the King Bill, rich is coming to our flat, so if you planned on coming but havent said so, then you're welcome to come to our flat too, and we'll supply you with tea.
If you carry on down the street to the old duke, turn left there, and we're in the building right opposite one stop. Give me a ring on 07794 770719 if you wanted to still come

[Pixiebrush]

V&A tomorrow at 2?

Dru

[Ghostbrush]

I wont be there till 5/5:30

Dru - :D

[Freddy Scribbles]

Yay. Off to London town on Saturday for drawing at the Wellcome Museum
and then who knows what other Museums. I think I may go study old master paintings at the British Museum or whatever the big one is called.

[Ghostbrush]

hey if we are out saturday, welcome to come join us, my number is in the last few pages, we are in the big smoke most weekends drawing :D

[Koto]

I'll be at the V&A at twooooooooooooo pee m.

Ghost> woot, thought you'd be living at the atelier 24/7! :D

[Ghostbrush]

Man I am there loads! but I wanna see you guys, really enjoy fridays at the V and A :)

[Koto]

Had to bail at 7pm, didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't let you know!

See you next week.

(Atelier arts are looking damn good, Ghost! DAMN good!)

[Koto]

Wow, double post.

[Freddy Scribbles]

So yeah...going to be at Wellcome for the morning drawing session until about 1:30.

After that...who knows? There are museums to go to until whenever.

Than wandering until La Cage Aux Folles at 7-something. That was kind of a random spur of the moment decision. My friend was like "Oh Barrowman He's hot and so is his partner" and I happened to look and see who was in it before...Phillip Quast. See...growing up with musical theatre means I recognize one of the original Les Mis Javert's before Mr. Jack-Torchwood-Harkness. Oh well. Still..what can be better than camp drag caberet?

:D

Feel free to ping if there is interesting drawing to be done. 07882614527

[Freddy Scribbles]

Oh yeah...

For the BRISTOL folks

FOPP on Park Street has 'Pixar - To Infinity and Beyond' for £10. It's usually £50.

That would be the big Green Book. Amazon Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Infinity-Beyond-Story-Animation-Studios/dp/1905264216/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255127536&sr=8-1)

[Rob!T]

Fran - I'll definitely be up for something next week. This week has been so packed, I've hardly checked CA.
