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 3 PM (UTC) and figure drawing on Wednesdays at 7 PM (UTC). 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 2 April, 2025 at 7 PM (UTC)
Join Luca Indraccolo as he captures the figure of model Lidia, exploring how to use edges to define and soften form. Working on black paper, he uses a range of Polychromos coloured pencils—black, white, and three shades of grey (light, mid, and dark)—along with a pencil eraser and a Mars plastic eraser. Through careful transitions between tones and hard and soft edges, he creates a dynamic sense of volume and depth in the drawing.
This session will start in 21 hours, 43 minutes' time.
Sunday 6 April, 2025 at 3 PM (UTC)
This week, Lizet Dingemans explores the contrast between mass and line in portrait drawing, examining the strengths and limitations of each approach as she captures model Solly. Using willow charcoal and charcoal pencil on charcoal-toned white paper, she shifts between bold, expressive shapes and precise linear detail to build form and structure in the portrait.
This session will start in 4 days' time.
