Throw some other colours at the January blues, and get a headstart on creative ideas for the year, month or just today!

Join for an energetic, imaginative session of colourful mark-making and get inspired to start filling your sketchbook with drawings and thoughts. We will work through a series of exercises and prompts to help loosen up the drawing muscles and find ease and spontaneity in linework - helping you banish the ‘blank page fear’.

• Anything to draw with

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 :

hello@londondrawinggroup.com

And that's it!

We're really looking forward to you joining us.

Love,
