Upcoming online sessions
We run regular, tutored online drawing sessions. They’re a great way to carve out a time to focus on your art each week. We run portrait drawing sessions every Sundays at 4 PM (UK Time) and figure drawing on Wednesdays at 8 PM (UK Time). A tutor joins us, does a demonstration and gives hints and tips. At the end of the session you can share your work with the group for feedback and we give you a link so you can download the photographs and continue working on your drawings.
Portrait sessions are free on the last Sunday of the month. Otherwise, sessions cost $6.50 each, or you can subscribe for only $12 a month. For a FREE taster session of your choosing, sign up below

Join Lizet Dingemans for this week's portrait session, as she approaches a portrait of model Steve with a focus on shapes and texture. Using a combination of charcoal and compressed charcoal on white paper, she will explore how to convey depth and detail by emphasizing surface quality and tonal contrasts.
This session will start in 1 day's time.
Wednesday 29 January, 2025 at 8 PM (UK time)
In this session, Lydia Cecil delves into the life and work of Peter Paul Rubens with a mastercopy of his Study of a Seated Woman Turned to the Right. While carefully recreating this piece, she draws connections to many of his other works, exploring his mastery of the Baroque style. Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of his time, Rubens' dynamic compositions and dramatic use of light and movement shaped the trajectory of Western art. This session offers a deep dive into Rubens’ techniques and artistic legacy.
This session will start in 4 days' time.
