Abstract Stained Glass Workshop
I really enjoyed the Long Pose Figure Drawing class. The people there were really welcoming. It was my first time but I could tell there were a lot of regulars and it was a really nice creative atmosphere. Someone even brought treats because it was their friend’s birthday. The model was great, 4 hours in the same pose is no joke! I definitely will go again.
