Waterloo Action Centre, London, 11 May 2024 – part 2

Part 2 of 2 at Waterloo Action Centre began just 30 minutes after the end of part 1. When the previous quick-pose session finished and almost all of our artists departed, I’d wondered whether we were destined for low numbers at this long-pose sequel.

Indeed as the 4pm start time approached it seemed we might have fewer than a third of the earlier number in attendance. With a modest flurry of late arrivers, however, we managed to peak at 17 artists in total. The more the merrier, but this felt comfortable.

Although the focus was longer poses we still did our warm-ups. Tutor Andrea Voisey got us underway with poses of 10, 4, 4, 4, 4 and 2 minutes. A 25-minute pose took us into half-time, after which a single 40-minute pose carried us through to the close.

For a while, the cumulative effect of my full-time weekday job, back-to-back Saturday sessions, overexertion in poses and generally challenging times caught up with me; I nearly nodded off! But all was well. Another happy London Drawing event. 🙂
