The Clapton Hart, London, 17 March 2025
Almost six months on from my debut session at The Clapton Hart, I was truly happy to see life drawing there had flourished. The group was in its infancy last September, when I was its fourth-ever model, but it has matured nicely since then.
Apparently artist numbers can still vary, but I’m sure there were five times as many in attendance to draw me this evening compared with last year. Perhaps the move from Wednesday evenings to Monday evenings was a significant factor. Who knows?
One consistent positive has been the ever-enthusiastic and well-organised running of the group by Catherine Hall. All the upbeat engaging attentiveness, care and energy she brings to Drawing the Star on Tuesdays is present at Clapton Drawing too.
In such an environment it didn’t really matter how I had been with my own challenges during the preceding days or weeks. I could feel good here, enjoy working the space, and hopefully inspire some sublime works. The artists did not disappoint.
