Dr Sketchy's Anti art School



















Finally after a year or two of wanting to and never being at the right place/time or state of mind, I've made it to a Dr Sketchy Anti-Art School. Its life drawing with a difference, putting the fun back into the human form, ranging from the mad, bad and generally slightly kooky to the curious. This time it was out in the middle of the park in Edinburgh, and we got a chance to draw various acts from the festival, from burlesque dancers and their booty, to sword fighters and tea ladies. Great fun, and 3 hours passed in what felt like 10 minutes. A perfect antidote to a crazy week before.



But unfortunately I had to go before the half naked muscly man came on. Not that that was all I was waiting for, just purely wanting to stay for research purposes...

    I'm so jealous! Dr Sketchy's! You've got some lovely sketches here and the musicians steal the show for me - spontaneous and lively!

    You so inspired me, or maybe the thought of half-naked muscley men, I have signed up for a London event in 2 weeks.

    As I mailed yesterday,I love your results!
