The life drawing sessions at the 188

Everything started in january 2016.
At that time, I was working in Glasgow, where I discovered All The Young Nudes. This drawing club plans nude sessions at the Sloans, the oldest pub in town.
I couldn't wait until Monday, when I would draw freely the bodies who posed from 3 to 30 minutes on the black wooden background of the pub, a beer close to hand.
The idea convinced Kévin Lévêque, who took this inspiration to establish the life drawing sessions at the 188.
Beginners, professionels, experienced amateurs, all kind of profiles meet there. Every week, we admire the drawings, repeating ourselves that they must be shown.
It finally happened, on the 24th of September 2016, the participants inaugurated the rails, which had been set for the project 188EXPOSITIONS, with their own drawings. The models' exhibition could be seen until the 17th of November 2016.
