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
“This is the best drawing instruction I’ve seen anywhere” – Miriam Danar
Wednesday 13 August, 2025 at 8 PM (UK time)
In this week's figure session, Luca Indraccolo draws a figure of model Beatrice, focusing on how to tackle complex areas within a figure drawing such as the hands, feet, and portrait. Using a brown Goldfaber No. 283 pencil by Faber-Castell on beige A4 paper, he works through ways to balance accuracy and flow, refining details with a putty rubber, pencil eraser, and Mars plastic eraser.
This session will start in 1 day's time.
Sunday 17 August, 2025 at 4 PM (UK time)
Lydia Cecil creates a mastercopy of Eugène Delacroix’s portrait of Frédéric Chopin, using chalk and charcoal on tan-toned paper. As she works, she discusses Delacroix’s life and career, highlighting his bold use of colour, dynamic compositions, and central role in the Romantic movement. She also reflects on how his energetic brushwork and focus on emotion influenced generations of artists, from the Impressionists to the Symbolists, shaping the direction of modern European art.
This session will start in 4 days' time.
