6:30 PM PAID £2.50 AT EVENTBRITE TO JOIN ZOOM MEETING RELATED TO AUDBREY BEARDSLEY
The suggested donation at Life Drawing London...was £15.00; but, instead, I just decided to pay £2.50.
The suggested donation at Life Drawing London...was £15.00; but, instead, I just decided to pay £2.50.
The bad part about that was...I mostly slept all through the 2 hours long Zoom meeting.
It was an enlightening talk...; so long as I was awake...; and, the young female teacher fairly engaging.
But, truth to be told, I missed most of it...maybe, 1 & 1/2 hours. (So glad I didn't to try paying them £15.00...as was their original suggestion.)
As to doing any drawings...no, I did none. Just stayed and watched the references appearing on screen.

I think, I joined this Zoom meeting...mainly to discover what it was all about; and, in order to decide if I should join any more. I have an open minded verdict there.
