Digital Studio - Evening | Drawing a Story

Discover how storytelling sparks imagination in this live online drawing session, exploring expressive and poetic ways of drawing.

Experience a drawing class like no other.

These evening drawing sessions, broadcast live from the Royal Drawing School studios, are an opportunity for students to experience the dynamic and dramatic possibilities of the life room from home. Join students online from across the globe to draw from the model, theatrical sets, dancers, and more, with something new each week. Using a range of drawing practices, our expert tutors will guide you through a series of exercises over the course of each session.

In this two-hour life drawing session, myth and storytelling will open the imaginative mind. Tutor Mark Cazalet will show how the interplay of model and well-chosen words can result in a more poetic way of drawing. This session will explore how storytelling in art allows us to cover a wide range of expressive forms of drawing.
