Celebrated painters Chantal Joffe RA and Ishbel Myerscough are joined by award-winning novelist Ali Smith CBE for a conversation about portraiture, observation and the emotional truths revealed through drawing.
This conversation is part of our 25th anniversary series of conversations with leading artists and creatives exploring how drawing shapes creative practice across disciplines.
Join some of the world’s most visionary artists, designers, writers and thinkers as they reflect on the role of drawing in their work, from painting, performance and design to storytelling, architecture and science.
The Royal Drawing School's 25th anniversary exhibition and events are generously supported by Ralph Lauren, a valued partner of the School for over six years, helping to make high-quality drawing tuition accessible to all.
