Life drawing at the Wallace

by

Let me tell you straight away that I don’t know ANYTHING about life drawing! But of course thats not stopping me trying! After all, the first time ANYONE tries to walk, they fall over and don’t look exactly expert. Slowly, slowly most of us improve at walking.And I’m hoping that if I get the chance …
