FEARLESS PORTRAIT DRAWING

Recording Only - Watch immediately once booked until 26th October 2025

Taught by Frances Stanfield

This online class includes a combination of short, long, fast and slow drawing exercises to help you create your own portraits, in a fun and fearless way!

Absolutely everyone’s head, at various points, gets in the way of their drawing. Whether it’s negative thoughts about ability, or half way through your drawing you suddenly feel precious about what you’ve made and can’t push though, or you worry so much about how to tackle a drawing from the offset that you never really feel like you got going at all! This is a great class for learning fearless and focussed drawing techniques.

Frances began her love of drawing portraits at the Royal Drawing School. In this class, she is going to pass on some of the techniques she learned there and taught herself.

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 class. As a minimum you will need a pencil and multiple sheets of paper.

Frances recommends using charcoal - go on, give it a go!

Suggested Materials:

  • Charcoal (preferably willow charcoal) If you don't want to use charcoal you can use pencils and or graphite sticks.


  • Paper (loose sheets - cartridge paper is a good, affordable option) Ideally A2 (16.5 x 23.4 in) or A3 (11.7 x 16.5) but you can work on any size you like.


  • Rubber (Eraser)


  • Optional extras : A drawing board and clips or masking tape - anything to keep your paper on the board.

This class is open to ALL levels, whether you’re a beginner, practising artist or haven’t drawn in years.

About the Tutor:

Frances @frances.stanfield is an artist and a founding member of London Drawing Group. Frances' art practice is rooted in drawing and moves between printmaking and painting. She studied Illustration at Falmouth College University and met Luisa and Lucy, the other co-founders of LDG, during a scholarship place at The Royal Drawing School Central.

Frances' teaching practice is all about using traditional drawing techniques and experimentation alongside an open and friendly approach with the hope that she will help you to draw and make art with confidence (whilst having a lot of of fun!)

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 :

We're really looking forward to you joining us.

Love,

London Drawing Group
