What's on the board". Monday, March 24, 2014. Fun, active, crazy night at the drawing class. Three models from the local high school play, Les Miz, posed for us. We did 17 minute poses, 2 per model. The models are young, 4-6 graders and play kids in the play. They were great. It's good practice to draw the proportions of children from time to time. Abby,Chad and Abbey. Monday, March 10, 2014.
