Experience a drawing class like no other.
These evening drawing sessions, broadcast live from the Royal Drawing School studios, are an opportunity for students to experience the dynamic and dramatic possibilities of the life room from home. Join students online from across the globe to draw from the model, theatrical sets, dancers, and more, with something new each week. Using a range of drawing practices, our expert tutors will guide you through a series of exercises over the course of each session.
Join us for an online two-hour life drawing session that captures the movement, rhythm, and energy of the party scene. Working with coloured paper and materials, students will explore dynamic compositions inspired by dance, atmosphere, and interaction.
Taking inspiration from artists including Toulouse-Lautrec, Denzel Forrester, Doron Langberg, Christina Kimeze, and Auguste Rodin, this class invites you to experiment with colour, rhythm, and repetition. Expect a playful, expressive set-up, with technology used to create repeated figures and an elaborate scene to draw from.
Guided by tutor Katy Papineau, students will explore how to draw movement in space, using expressive mark-making and tonal contrast to capture fleeting gestures and vivid environments. All levels welcome.
