Challenge #2: Life Drawing Live - from the Royal Academy
I'm quite liking the idea of a monthly challenge during 2019. So, after snowy paintings, my Challenge for February (I'm thinking once a month is about right) is to watch the live streaming by the Royal Academy of a Live Life Drawing Class - and draw along with the class!
See #LifeDrawingLive: the anatomy class - A live-streamed class to join from home.
This takes place:
ON: Thursday 28 February 2019
AT: 7.30 — 9pm
You've got the rest of the month to practice - and there are some ideas below
This was my sketch done while listening to Sarah Simblet explain anatomical features in various paintings in the National Gallery in 2007!
Jonathan Yeo was obviously totally unaware that live streaming has been done before!
The live streaming of a life class has happened once before on Channel 4 when we had Life Class in 2009 and LOTS of people joined in. Below is what happened.....

This takes place:
ON: Thursday 28 February 2019
AT: 7.30 — 9pm
You've got the rest of the month to practice - and there are some ideas below
- the very short introductory video (below) from the Life Drawing Class they ran in January 2018 gives you an idea of what it's likely to be like
- The class instructor will be Sarah Simblet. She's very good and her books are also highly rated and best sellers!
- This is a link to her book The Drawing Book: An innovative, practical approach to drawing the world around you
- This is Sarah's book - Anatomy for the Artist
- I've also got a A Making A Mark Guide: Life Drawing and Life Class to my Making A Mark website. You can now read it on the website without downloading it.
