The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists ran their first ever drawing prize exhibition recently. There is a great breadth of drawing talents showing until mid October. I submitted two drawings: Deceptively Beautiful: My CMLcells and an iPad drawn Portrait of My Haematologist Consultant Dr Hayder Hussain.
Surprisingly both were accepted by the judging panel of: Barbara Walker MBE RA, Kate Mason and Steve Balcock and the first was ‘Highly Recommended. Any proceeds will go to Cure Leukaemia.
