Mini photo-set: Beatrice (& an anniversary)

Hi everybody,

This years expansion of our recorded sessions and our new portrait course has kept us all pretty busy so I wanted to share this mini life-drawing photo-set of the wonderful Beatrice to tide you over before we release some new sets and expand some past sets this month. 

I also wanted to mark our 3-year Patreon anniversary! We had to close our in-person studio on the 13th March 2020 after our tutors started getting ill. Within 3 days we had booked in our first photoshoot with life models at the Brighton Studio and Lance had started to write our first 'Drawing from Home' blog. I took this photo against my studio wall...

...and over 36 sleepless hours we'd set up this Patreon. The overwhelming and immediate support we received from our Brighton community kept us all going throughout that first year. We'd never have imagined that it would take on the life it has now and that we'd be reaching such a broad community around the world so thank you all for your support over the past three years. We're looking forward to many more years bringing people together through drawing, making photosets & tutorials for you all and making sure our life models & artists receive the pay and support they deserve - thank you so much for supporting us to do that.

In today's photo-set we have a curated set of Beatrice's photos from our last shoot - as we catch up on the photos from this month we'll be sharing expanding a life photo-set of Ellie P. for supporters on the Life Drawing & student Tiers, releasing a new portrait set of Sam next week and a clothed photo-set of Ruth at the end of the month.
