This session pass gives you access to all Lunchtime Life Drawing sessions in the Summer Term at a 25% discount.
Join us live from our studios at lunchtime, 1–2pm (GMT), for a focused hour of drawing. Whether you're looking to improve your skills, take a mindful break, or explore new ways of seeing, these sessions offer a space to slow down and draw with purpose.
Each Digital Studio session uses the School's multi-camera set-up to create observational drawing opportunities that are only possible online. With a focus on the human form, these lunchtime classes allow you to observe and draw from a live model from the comfort of your home or workplace.
An experienced tutor will guide you through a range of short and long poses, focusing each week on different aspects of the body and varied approaches to drawing the figure. All levels welcome.
