Life Drawing

"I would like to thank you SO much for the lovely drawing of our RUFUS, He is so life like that it is like having him back with us. The detail that you were able to capture in his face, with his whiskers on the side of his face and the lines in his forehead were absolutely amazing. His Eyes are so bright and life like. He is always looking at us with a cheeky look. You are simply amazing with the time and patience you put into our little man..."

"Drawing classes with Jenny have been a way to enhance and extend my art practice. I enjoyed that she offered the exploration of drawing in many different ways using a good range of artist models. Jenny’s drawing classes were a way to develop drawing skills but also to explore ideas with a range of media and techniques. I enjoyed used some of the drawings and extended them into printmaking."
