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 30 April, 2025 at 8 PM (UK time)
This week, Lydia Cecil draws model Amy in a figure session centred on capturing the large, rounded forms of the body by starting with soft, subtle edges. Working in charcoal on toned paper, she builds the figure from broad shapes before refining structure—helping develop a sensitive and solid foundation to the pose.
This session will start in 1 day's time.
Sunday 4 May, 2025 at 4 PM (UK time)
Join Lizet Dingemans as she draws a portrait of model Beth, exploring the concept of window shading—a method of gradually building tone to create a smooth sense of light and form. Using HB, H, and B graphite pencils on white paper, she works carefully across the surface to reveal the structure and subtle lighting of the face.
This session will start in 5 days' time.
