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 $19.50 a month. For a FREE taster session of your choosing, sign up below

Freya: An online figure drawing session

Lydia Cecil

Wednesday 13 May, 2026 at 8 PM (UK time)

For this week's 1-hour figure session, Lydia will be working from an unusual pose with model Freya, focusing on temperature shifts and how they can guide attention to an unexpected focal point. The drawing will explore the balance between warm and cool tones, using limited colour to build contrast, depth, and emphasis across the figure. Materials used: black, white, and red Caran d’Ache pencils.

This session will start in 1 day's time.

James R: An online portrait drawing session

Lizet Dingemans

Sunday 17 May, 2026 at 4 PM (UK time)

Join Lizet for this week's 1- hour portrait session with model James R, drawing the profile with a limited pastel pencil palette on brown toned paper. The focus is on balancing warm and cool tones, layering colour to build subtle halftones and lights while keeping the portrait simple and controlled. Materials used: Pastel pencils on brown toned paper. Lizet uses white, beige red, earth or chrome green and Van Dyke brown by Faber Castell, plus willow charcoal for the drawing.

This session will start in 4 days' time.
