Great night last Friday, arrived at Barrington House, Herefordshire for a hen party life painting session. Met by Sarah and her friends who had come up from London. Soon had 13 easels set up, paints and brushes at the ready cosily waiting in a very large room for Gary to make his entrance. Some of the girls had painted before but many had not. This was going to be a fun experience and tension was mounting.
In came Gary, he took off his dressing gown mounted the dais and took up position. For a moment there was a hush, then I demonstrated how easy it was to draw Gary using circles, rectangles and cylinders to create a frame work for the figure. The girls got stuck in, pencils skating over the canvas and with a few deft strokes they had Gary captured. With another fun demonstration on how to mix flesh colours and apply the paint, the girls were off. Paint brushes were wielded like artists, subtle interpretations of the male form were intermixed with lavish bold versions with the odd exaggeration thrown in for good measure.
A great time was had by all and what a fantastic way to begin a hen party weekend!
