Online Life Drawing: Mark

If you’ve never tried life drawing online before, this session is great place to start. You’ll be drawing from a model posing live over Zoom alongside sketchers of all abilities, from around the world. The unclothed model will hold five 1-minute poses, five 3-minute poses, one 10-minute pose and a final 20-minute pose. The session is untutored with a Session Leader on hand to offer help and we’ll have a different model posing virtually each week - you can find out who is modelling at each upcoming online session by checking these listings. If you’d like some pointers on getting started, take a look at this video HERE.

Our model this week is Mark and the session will be led by Sara Reeve. Sara is a Brighton-based artist and tutor at Draw – she hosts the weekly daytime life drawing sessions and runs in-person classes in oil painting.
