This Sunday May 24^th 2020 we will be sketching from the safety of our own homes. Sketching will start at approximately 2pm and finish at 4pm.

This week, working from video and photos from the internet, newspapers and magazines we will sketch the patients, doctors, nurses, ambulance personnel, cleaning staff and others involved in the worldwide covid-19 pandemic.

Let's take this as an opportunity to express our thanks to all the front-line medical staff who have been working so hard over the last few months!
