Beginners Portrait Classes starting soon

Cheryl from Twyford

Have you ever wanted to know how to draw and paint portraits? Getting the proportions right can be tricky, but I can help guide you through the process.
We will start by drawing in Charcoal to help you with getting the proportions and tonal values correct to create form. Then we will create a black and white acrylic portrait painting.
This is a 6 week course.
For more information and expressions of interest, please email Cheryl at - cheznefall@gmail.com

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
