Well done Lydia Spearink. Watch Lydia model when this screens on Jan 25 1012! THE RETREAT ON CHANNEL 4S CELEBRITY COACH TRIP 25TH JANUARY 17:00 tHE   What an amazing day we had! John had the pleasure of conducting a life-drawing class for a range of British celebrities. The Retreat had been invited to hold a surprise life-drawing session for contestants of Channel 4?s  Celebrity Coachtrip. Filmed at Senigallia's Palazzo Baviera, John taught a traditional life-drawing class with the  help of 'Retreat' model Lydia. The day was  light- hearted and full of humour which led to many of the guests promising to return to The Retreat for extra classes in the future. Amongst the participants were Paul Burrell, Canon&Ball, East Enders' Nick Cotton and a host of other celebrities. So why not look out for Channel 4's new series of Celebrity Coach Trip in the new year, to see John and our celebs in action.  Th...

Like to get together with other artists and models for a social evening and to network, then why not come along to the 'Three Goats Head PH' on St Michaels St, Oxford, OX14 2DR, on Wednesday evening the 29th Sept? I will be there from 9pm to 10pm. Cheers Chris Please note, this is not a RAM organised event, but sounds like a very good idea to us!

The blog looks great on the website. I have a couple of new things to add. I've appeared on the telly modelling on BBC1'S The One Show in a piece called 'The Value of Art and also in Seven Ages of Britain: Age of Money. Best wishes, Zoe Simon (RAM model)

Just a thought from Sarah King ( RAM model). I enjoy being able to pick up artists tips on how to draw 'me'!!!!! Learning whilst earning!

What can I say .  Watch out for   a;draughts , b; tutors who are easily confused and forget to book you or forget they have booked you, c;students who expect to see only female models ,  d;easels can be very dangerous if placed too close  and finally heaters that switch themselves off when they think the room is warm enough!

I'd like to tell you what happened when I was practising and preparing poses. Several photos were taken and reviewed over several days. Suddenly I noticed 'an orb' to my right. Strange to have missed it before as it is so prominant. Six of the many photos taken that day, were found to have orbs of some description, but many did not. The first one that was noticed was the one that was sent to the RAM listing.  I had heard of these orbs but had no experience or knowledge. Naturally an investigation was started and I now believe, (there is, at present, nothing conclusive,) that these are balls of energy of some sort, which absorb flashlight and expel it at a reduced wavelength. The digital camera, being an electronic recording device, can pick up 'near infra-red' light. Experiments have shown these orbs to be consiousnesses of some sort; could be beings, thought forms, nature spirits etc. I have had fun directing my camera up into the da...
