Thelma – thirty minutes

Thelma was a real trooper, the evening I did this. It was coldest evening we’ve had this year and the building that we do our drawing in is basically one room with no vestibule, just a door that opens straight to the outside. The person running the class suggested that she could keep her clothes on if she wanted to – but Thelma is a tough woman and she insisted on modelling nude. We all applauded her at the end of the evening.
