Next Felicia will give a 20 minute demonstration. For The remainder of the 3 hours the model will take one long pose, during which time Felicia will help individual students in need by creating a drawing on a piece of tracing paper placed on top of their drawing, showing how she would proceed from their exact point of view, the students may keep this "tracing" for reference.
