'The Model Within',

an article in 'In Focus' Magazine by Ian Lidster with photos by Boomer Jerrit provides insight into being a life model for artists. If you life draw in any of the valley's life drawing groups some of the people you draw are interviewed about the trials and rewards of modelling.

Look for the item in the current edition of 'In Focus' or read it online HERE.

Thanks for publishing this, Clive. I don't get to see Focus magazine too often and would otherwise not have known about this article. I am hoping to use Michael in a series I have been trying to get my head wrapped around for some time now - want to start it soon before I get too old:-)

Michael just modelled for a workshop and mentioned he was going to be lining something up with you. Congrats on the sales of two drawings in the art show too!
