Saturday Sketch Club: life drawing from sculptures
Online workshop
Saturday 12 October 2024 10.30 - 11.45am
Live-streamed online
Explore the fundamentals of life drawing using our unique collection of antique casts and écorchés.
Start your Saturday creatively with a virtual visit to our historic life room.
You will follow in the footsteps of two centuries of RA Schools students and learn the fundamentals of life drawing from casts of the human figure. During this session, artist Adele Wagstaff will lead you in a series of exercises using our collection of antique casts and écorchés and teach you techniques to improve your life drawing skills.
Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of monthly online art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practising 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 in the days leading to the event.
Share your work with the Sketch Club community by posting your drawings to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #RASketchClub or join our Facebook group group to connect with other participants.
