Drawing at the National Gallery (drop-in)

Drawing at the National Gallery is an opportunity to make an intensive study of a particular artist or painting, this is not a course in copying but rather transcription; translating what you observe into your own drawing. These sessions are open to the public but also give London art students the opportunity for free, regular tutored drawing in The National Gallery and are structured to complement the Free Life Drawing for Art Students in Shoreditch on Monday evenings. With the complementary activities of drawing from life and from paintings students develop their work.

Please note that the meeting point every week will be Room 9.
