We are so priveledge to have tonight a fingerstyle guitarrist playing for us live at Life Drawing+ in Studio Bee. His name is Alastair Macdonald and he’ll be playing in a suit for the first part and with jeans and shirt in the second half, standing up or sitting down.

Materials, wine & tapas included and all for the same price…£10/£8

This is unique and would be so special.

Alastair has played music of one kind or another for as long as he can remember but it was after attending a workshop with fingerstyle guitar legends Andy McKee and Don Ross that things started getting serious (read: obsessive). After learning various fingerstyle techniques and grooves from Don, Andy and later Thomas Leeb, Jon Gomm, Mike Dawes, Petteri Sariola and Clive Carroll, Al has been seen performing around Manchester as part of the ‘Out of the box’ trio and as a solo performer

Supermodel model

Last week we had an amazing model, Mary Alexandra. She came up with such incredible and challenging poses, which we all loved so much, that everyone got really inspired and made really good work. Below some examples.

Tomorrow Tuesday we have another very young female. She is 21 and is her first time but she’s working on poses that are inspiring too.

See you tomorrow

These Sunday sessions are for those who want to relax and have a very nice day out while enjoying longer poses to study the human figure; for people who prefers working in a large scale format and more into detail whereas using pencil, charcoal or paints or just play and experiment with colours and materials. There are tables for attendants to spread their materials on and three table easels for those who haven’t their own and would like using one.

If interested, please, book in advance before Saturday and let us know if you want the vegan or non vegan Lancashire hotpot.
