First up, regular model Oli, and this weekend special guest Lisa Elle, of local band Dark Horses, sat for us with her wonderful greyhound, Soldier. </p> <p>We’ll have one more free drop-in drawing session this coming Saturday, with another fantastic sitter, so do come along and join us!</p> </blockquote>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50982667276http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50982667276Tue, 21 May 2013 12:17:24 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ae22aebdd4f509841735e2419594b02e/tumblr_mn42f7rMY11qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Emma posing in a hoop today…i re imagined her in an aerial hoop :) #lifedrawing #hoop #aerialhoop</p>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50924110589http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50924110589Mon, 20 May 2013 20:06:43 +0100hoopaerialhooplifedrawing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/84ac4b74445346f3de865b047c43c8de/tumblr_mm6jjlzXPl1r4xd5go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thefineartnude.tumblr.com/post/50866901314/kim-roberti">thefineartnude</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Kim Roberti</p> </blockquote>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50896516743http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50896516743Mon, 20 May 2013 10:23:31 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5c6b480b0bb7d7fdcd3fca74802af41c/tumblr_mn290sGlGg1qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Soldier the greyhound, asleep #dog #italiangreyhound #sketchbook</p>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843229319http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843229319Sun, 19 May 2013 20:34:04 +0100sketchbookdogitaliangreyhound<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f4d3ef6a2f7350cc8a5c8aadc99c2999/tumblr_mn28yvk5Yw1qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lisas legs and shoes #lifedrawing</p>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843136441http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843136441Sun, 19 May 2013 20:32:54 +0100lifedrawing<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5f40aa3320299010e8a0852e95aebe6a/tumblr_mn28xqrMyH1qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lisa and Soldier #lifedrawing #italiangreyhound #portrait</p>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843080360http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50843080360Sun, 19 May 2013 20:32:13 +0100portraititaliangreyhoundlifedrawing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/50ab7b1a521d7d9b84bdec9992219b87/tumblr_mn28vytu1O1qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Drawings of Lisa from Saturdays session #lifedrawing #portrait #lisaelle</p>http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50842995683http://kateshields.tumblr.com/post/50842995683Sun, 19 May 2013 20:31:10 +0100portraitlisaellelifedrawing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/278f8194b634489e241d6c74956fecb7/tumblr_mn216qJG1x1qzjhp4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Incredible finale at the Nofitstate circus show.
