Saturday Sketch Club: contemporary life drawing
Online workshop
Saturday 14 June 2025 10.30 - 11.45am
Live-streamed online
Discover a contemporary approach to life drawing during this Saturday Sketch Club.
Throughout this online class artist Elinor Stanley will guide you as you practise figure drawing. Working from a life model, Elinor will teach you to capture mood and character in your life drawings by emphasising expressive body language. Whether you are a beginner or an old hand at life drawing, this class is an opportunity experiment with contemporary styles of life drawing.
Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of online monthly art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practising artist, these live-streamed classes are designed for everyone. Classes take place online via a live webinar.
Share your work with the online Sketch Club community by posting your drawings to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #RASketchClub or join our Facebook group to connect with other participants.
