A MEETING of the Hot Peppers WI was held on Wednesday, October 29 in the Church Rooms.

On entry, members found several easels and boards with paper, pencils and everything needed for the meeting Life Drawing.

Cathy Bester opened the evening by welcoming members and guests and mentioning several notices. She expressed the need for items for the Victorian Fayre on December 6 in New Street.

Cathy then introduced the Professional Artist for the evening, Andrew Clacher. Andrew then introduced Hazel, the life model. He took members through the main points and measurements used in life drawing. Then the fun began! Lining up with the tips of pencils, making a few marks on the paper with erasers at the ready.

As the evening progressed, it was surprising the number of successful artists there are within the membership and Andrew was pleased with his tutorial.

As the meeting drew to a close, everybody enjoyed a cup of tea and a slice of cake and general perusal of the sketches.

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, November 26 in the Church rooms and will be on the Secrets of Croome Court by Peggy Booth. Do come and join for what will be a very interesting talk.
