This charming ink-on-paper drawing, ‘Mother and Child’, is by Duncan Grant. We’ve used it to illustrate a wonderful opportunity for those of you interested in life drawing.

Silvia MacRae Brown will be leading an informal day of life drawing at Charleston in Firle on Tuesday May 7, offering the chance to sketch life model Francesca with her new baby.

The class runs from 10am to 4pm and all are welcome, with guidance given to those who’d like some. There will be a variety of poses and it costs £60 for the day.
