DRAW LONDON

About Us

Draw London's classes teach solid drawing skills and introduce participants to the range of amazing museums, large and small, that London has to offer. Beyond technique, the classes are a way to take time out from busy urban lifestyles to give yourself over to the deep (and ultimately relaxing!) concentration that drawing requires. Classes are carefully planned and structured so that students build skill upon skill to become confident drawers. Handouts, materials and paper are provided to compliment the lessons and objects being investigated.
