[left][center]Welcome to the [b]TWELFTH[/b] thread of the [b]Open Figure Drawing Workshop!!! [/b]
This workshop is open to any medium and any style. Some informal moderation
will be gladly provided by Rebecca Kimmel ~ however, the purpose of the
Workshop is for Artists to interact with and informally critique one anothers work.

Note: This Workshop will last at least 3, and possibly 4 weeks. Depending on how far people get in 3 weeks, we may extend the time period to 4 weeks.
