Life Drawing 6th March 2021

Luckily the weather was not too cold, but our model needed a heater on to keep him warm. It would most likely have been better out in the sun – but what would passers by have said about that? There were 9 members participating and they all produced some very good drawings throughout the range of poses from short to long ones.

"A meeting of persons favourable
to the formation of an art society
in Goulburn was held at the Town
Hall yesterday afternoon. The
mayor presided and there were
present about 20 persons.
The chairman, after explaining
the objects of the meeting, called
on Archdeacon Bartlett to move
the first resolution.
Archdeacon Bartlett said he came there to see whether he could do
anything in the way of a Phillistine, and he hoped they would not
consider it cheek on his part as he could not paint a haystack to save
his life. But he could tell a good picture from a bad one, and he hoped
