Good for you Ken you are amazing ! I am much better now, although it was a shock to the system. Have a good session at West Malling.
All the best Sharon
I did have 3 great sessions last week with Kim Plowright, at Canterbury Adult Education. Tuesday night we did tone , with charcoal. A brilliant group, great drawings. Then on Friday I did a morning session similar to Tuesday evening, lots of great drawings, lovely group that said they loved me, and said I was a cracking good model. Friday afternoon drawing with 3 colour pencils red, blue and black, another great session. Working again at Tempel Ewell with Anne Courtney on 23rd of May, I had to cancel last session , because of covid. Looking forward to it.On 25th of May at Deal life drawing at the Astor Theatre in the evening. Thank you for reading this . Contact me shazsmithers2020@gmail.com Sharon

More info about the crucifixion project to be undertaken by the artist I mentioned in West Malling. He is planning a series of videos illustrating the various methods by which unfortunate victims were crucified, and the range of shapes of crucifixes - "T", "X", upright, upside down, body facing inwards and outwards, mostly naked but some posed with a tiny "barely there" loincloth. Each video will include the methods used to attach the victim to the cross. Fortnightly visits to his studio will be required. Each video will be about an hour long with commentary. Wish me luck!

Good Luck Ken, I am sure you will be fine as usual. I have been busy modeling, but had a funny turn on Tuesday, got dizzy and didn't feel right I guess it was I was up very early unfortunately. But fortunately I did the work, and finished when I was ill.

Hope you are feeling better now Sharon. Look after yourself and don't overdo it. xx

I feel better now and staying positive at Margate in the evening in Broadstairs on Tuesday morning staying positive up till I get Tuesday morning done fingers crossed. Thanks Ken for your concern. All the best Sharon xx

Kenneth

Hello Ken,
Thank you I will do as my surgeon says and carry on until I can model again.
Many thanks to you and all our other members.
All the best Sharon
shazsmithers2020@gmail.com thank you.

Good luck Sharon with the knee op, hopefully modelling will help you through ! Just trying to organise some Life Modelling sessions for the autumn and beyond, 3 booked so far but not much luck getting anymore organised. I am in Chesham, Bucks and available in North West London, West Herts, Bucks and East Berks and some of Bedfordshire if anyone knows of any sessions in those areas. Stay cool, weather cooling down in a day or two, then I expect about 3 months of wet weather !

Good luck with your operation tomorrow and no knees up for a while.
Stu

Thank you so much for your kind messages regarding my left knee replacement operation which took place on Saturday 17th of September 22 , it all went well on the day, and on Sunday was told to get up and get dressed to abulsions with help from Chaucer hospital staff in Canterbury, I was able to go toilet, climb stairs up and down, walk slowly, each day I get stronger. I won't be fit till 3 months time so in the new year I will be able to model again ! January 2023 here I come.I did work at Canterbury Adult Education with Kim Plowright on Tuesday night and Friday morning/afternoon, got through sessions well with good poses.
The week before was at Deal life drawing Wednesday night at The Astor Theatre that was good too, all groups with lovely artist in them, great work done by all, and not forgetting Emma at Deal the organiser. Thank you all.
Moving on text Alan Reynolds he has cancer, and he seems to be alright. Fingers crossed for him, onwards and upwards. Thanks again folks, contact me on shazsmithers2020@gmail.com Sharon xx

Excellent news Sharon. Best wishes for your period of convalescence, and time will soon pass before you are able to resume your modelling !

I was disturbed to read about Alan, and I sincerely hope he will pull through OK.

All the very best from Kenneth.

Hello All :slightly_smiling_face:

Have just joined the side & setup a profile, very glad to have found the site.
I’ve been life modelling for 4 years now, tried it out of curiosity and absolutely fell in love with it. Has been a fascinating & fun journey, have done classical life modelling but also in the past 12 months themed sessions which have been great for letting the creativity flow.
I definitely think life drawing continues to grow in popularity, which is great to see.
Look forward to chatting on here and being part of the chat.
All the best, Ben :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello all,
Thanks Ken regarding my knee, I am staying positive and determined.
Alan has been ill for some time, but like me taking each time as it comes in a different way, bless him he is still trying to work on Art Nude UK to improve website. That will come in time I guess. Do you realise that art nude UK has been going for 10 year how amazing is that, and we have so many great members. Who would have thought that ? Out of a small acorn came a great life modelling group, which I am proud to be a member of, and other members too, good Luck to you Ben, life modelling is so inspiring to artist and us alone. Thank you for reading this please contact me on shazsmithers2020@gmail.com Sharon xx

Thanks Sharon :slightly_smiling_face:
Just seen your post about the operation, hope your recovery goes well. Thanks for the welcome, life modelling is definitely inspiring & wonderful. Alan has done a great job building this website & that’s fab how it’s been going for 10 years.
Ben :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks all for the kind messages regarding my knee operation, as each day progresses I improve which is a confidence booster.
I have my stitches out on Thursday 29th September 22. Which is another step up.
Keep our thoughts about Alan Reynolds the organiser of this group, with his cancer, bless him !
10 years of Art Nude UK is amazing for this group. I can't believe it lets hope we have another 10 years.
All the best Sharon. Contact me on shazsmithers2020@gmail.com thank you

Hello all,
Hope you all are well and busy ? I am in recovery with my left knee replacement from 17th September, and having my stitches out on 29th September
And my physio is ahead of treatment of 2 weeks, which is encouraging and confidence booster.
I do miss my job of course or I wouldn't be writing on here, but time is something I must take advantage of I have 3 months to recover so not that bad. I have a booking so I will get better for that in December on 2 and 8th. Time will tell.
Keep up the good work you lovely life models I will be back.
