DRAWING OUTSIDE: Observation to Abstraction
Recording of a live class, available to watch immediately after booking until the 17th August 2025
Taught by Frances Stanfield
This practical drawing class combines the tranquility of drawing outdoors with the techniques of master artists. Artists include Hiroshi Yoshida, Gerard Sekoto, Grandma Moses and Helen Frankenthaler. You will be shown how to capture the landscape in front of you using line, contrast, composition and how to move your drawing from observation to playful and abstract impressions!
This class is open to ALL levels, whether you’re a beginner, practising artist or haven’t drawn in years.
You're welcome to use anything you like for this drawing to this class. As a minimum you will need a pencil and multiple sheets of paper.
Materials:
- Pencil
- Paper (loose sheets or a sketchbook)
Optional extras - anything colourful
This class is suitable for all levels!

ARE YOU TRYING TO BOOK VIA THE EVENTBRITE PHONE APP?!
We have been in touch with Eventbrite, and they have informed us that currently you cannot book tickets to online events in their app. It's very frustrating and we have been assured they are working on a solution. In the meantime, we recommend that you book tickets to our events outside of the iOS app - either via a web browser or a desktop. If you book our classes regularly we recommend deleting the eventbrite App.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL :
And that's it!
We're really looking forward to you joining us.
Love,
LDG
Frequently asked questions
No! We think it's better that people create in private so everyone's cameras and audio are automatically turned off - there's noway they can be turned on. However, it's important to us that we hear from you so you can communicate with the tutor and everyone in the class via the chat box if you wish!
Yes! In our live classes and in the recording of the live class.
