Join us on Zoom for a relaxed and friendly untutored life drawing session, open to drawers of all abilities and levels of experience!
About this Event

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 and a final 30-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 JM 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.

Keep your camera ON during the session – this helps the model to feel safe and to maintain the sense of community that is so important to our classes. If you cannot turn your camera on, let the session leader know with a message at the start of the session.

You are always welcome to send the model a thankyou tip via the link that accompanies your booking.
