Overview

A two-hour live online drawing class led by Dexter Orszagh, streamed from within our exhibition ‘Driven to Draw’. Focusing on the role of drawing in Frank Bowling’s sixty-year career, the session responds directly to works in the exhibition. It begins with an introduction to his practice by his son, Ben Bowling, and grandson, Frederik Bowling.

Through tutor-led exercises with a live model, you’ll explore how drawing is a vital, instinctive part of Bowling’s practice and an essential way of thinking and experimenting. All levels welcome.
