[left][center]Welcome to the FOURTEENTH thread of the Open Figure Drawing Workshop!!!
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.
