Learn figure drawing techniques in this Saturday Sketch Club.
Start your morning creatively with this online art class guided by artist Dilip Sur.
Throughout this online art class, you will explore figure drawing and learn to capture the essence of the human form. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced participant, you will develop your skills and learn to express your unique perspectives.
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.
