We hosted a superb Art Nude workshop at one of our favourite UK venues, Pipewell Hall in Northamptonshire. Our models for the day were two of the UK’s finest models, Raphaella and Carla both a delight to work with and so hardworking. We had eight delegates on the day, one who traveled all the way from Malmo, Sweden but did not allow for train cancellations on a Sunday so unfortunately missed the first hour of the day however Faye stayed behind with Dimo’s to allow him to catch up while I took the main group outside to do some exterior images at the doorway. Weather wise the day was what we had hoped for, dry, warm and sunny with cloud cover at times which we appreciated. Pipewell had some fabulous locations both internally and in the surrounding grounds. Mid morning we split into 2 groups one staying inside with Faye and Carla while the others came with me and Raphaella out into the woods. Lunch time we swapped over groups so everybody had the opportunity of working with both models during the course of the workshop. Faye will be posting an image of the ‘group’ shot on Facebook (remember I am banned for another 26 days!) This is one of my images with Raphaella I saw this location when we started the day however knowing that Raphaella would get her body marked in amongst the branches decided to leave this to the very last session of the day. Because of her bravery and daring she did suffer some scratches to her body. Hair, as always by Faye who will be posting one of her images later today.
