Digital Studio - Evening | Printmaking at home

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 session, we will work with the life model while discovering the versatile technique of monotype printmaking.

Tutor Jake Garfield will lead students through the process, moving between drawing and printmaking, encouraging improvisation and experimentation with character, atmosphere, tone, and color. Practical demonstrations will show how you can adapt and improvise printmaking techniques at home.

All you’ll need is a few oil pastels to engage with this creative session.

Suggested Materials:

• Oil Pastels or oil sticks
• Pencils
• Thin smooth paper (For example, Japanese paper or newsprint)
• Wooden spoon
• Sketchbook
