I draw from the nude, in pencil. I'm strictly an amateur but very keen. I'd say "serious", but that implies a dour approach. which isn't me.  I offer good conditions: warmth, decent coffee/wine etc. I try to capture the variety of people who come to or visit London, but the main purpose is my own pleasure and satisfaction. If you enjoy it too that's definitely a plus.

Drawing is at my secure portered flat in Marylebone. There is sufficient room for any pose in my living room. (Though the light isn't great.) Poses are largely up to the model, since it is capturing the individual, and doing the exercise, which is important to me. Though I can direct and adjust as necessary, I'm not highly prescriptive and don't have a set agenda or goal in a session.  Experienced models tell me I draw fast, and I seldom ask someone to hold an individual pose for as much as 20 minutes. Three hours (with time to relax between poses) is usually a good session.

Probably most models I see, I see more than once. And some recommend their friends. So I cannot be that fearsome. I've been doing this for more than a decade.

Pictures are not published or exhibited, though a few, without identification, may be displayed on sites like this or otherwise shown to potential models. You are welcome to keep any that you like. The process more than the result matters to me.
