Join us to discover how to draw portraits with accuracy and personality in this online art class.
Start your Saturday creatively with this online art class. Led by artist Robin-Lee Hall, you will learn tips and tricks for drawing human faces. Throughout the session you will draw directly from a life model, in a range of poses, which will improve your portrait drawing skills.
Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of online monthly art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practicing artist, these live-streamed classes are designed for everyone. Sessions take place online via a live webinar. Attendees will be sent a link to join the webinar closer to the time.
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.
Robin-Lee Hall is an award-winning portrait painter and past President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. She has exhibited in and around London including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery.
For this class, all you will need is a pencil, paper and a rubber.
