An artist is hosting life drawing classes with DOGS

An artist is hosting life drawing classes with a twist - ditching naked people as subjects and instead using well-behaved DOGS.

Pictures taken at a class last night (5/6) show a majestic whippet and an pretty lurcher posing for a group of 20 artists.

The calm canines were encouraged to stay still by their owners, who attended the event, and then paraded around the room for visitors to take a closer look.

The classes are organised and hosted by quirky artist Liah Edwardes, 25, who believes them to be the first of their kind.
