Possible daytime drawing at The Muir Gallery: info from Brian Buckrell

The Comox Valley Arts Council has begun evening life drawing classes
in Muir Gallery . I went there for their evening session this week. Good set up. Good lighting.

I don't enjoy going out at night to paint so I discussed a daytime session. They are willing to do a trial - a life drawing session on Monday mornings- the day the gallery is closed. I suggest 10 people limit to see how it goes. They are willing to run a three week trial beginning a week Monday - Mondays Nov 28, Dec 5 and 12 from 9 to 11 AM. To make it work for them we are asking $30 to pay for the three sessions ($ 10 for each of the three days - covers model and makes a contribution to their overhead at Muir). It insures stability and makes the effort worth while for them. You could trade off your day with someone else if you could not make it.
It looks like we have 5 committed. Need 5 more to make it go. If there was interest, we could discuss how best to organize it for the New Year. I wouldn't mind one session periodically with longer posses and clothed ( even partially) for painting with colour and some for portrait painting.

Anyone interested please contact me back at bbuckrell@shaw.ca as soon as possible. First come first served.
Thanks.
