Online Drawing Session led by Alex Roberts

Online Drawing Session with Alex Roberts

Join Alex Roberts for this early evening Drawing Session online on Monday 13 October.

Explore drawing a model in this hour-long Drawing Session led by the artist Alex Roberts. We're thrilled to welcome Alex back to Drawing Projects UK for this guest Drawing Session. Inspired by a number of drawings in the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025 exhibition, the focus for this short intensive session will be on drawing the model's head or portrait.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned drawing practitioner, this session is perfect for developing your drawing skills in a friendly and supportive online environment.

Gather a pencil and paper and your favourite drawing materials, find a comfortable place to draw, and log in to our virtual platform for a 6pm start. This session will run until 7.15pm so you can focus on drawing for a full hour. During this guided session you will receive an introduction to the session with Alex, personalised tips, and connect with fellow drawing enthusiasts as you draw together.
