WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Drawing at the NATIONAL GALLERY

Meet by the seats beneath the stairway in the Annenberg Court, in between the espresso bar and the shop on the ground floor. Please send me a message on Meetup if you cannot see us. There is usually a queue to get in, so please allow about 15 minutes time for that. There is a security check as you enter and the staff may want to see what art materials you have with you (see below).

We will draw from paintings from 2.10 pm until until 4 pm. I can provide tuition if you wish, for £10 per person. Otherwise, there is no charge, but small voluntary donations (£2 or so) will be gratefully received. No obligation though. We will meet again at 4 pm in the espresso bar to share our drawings and have a chat.

Please bring your own materials. Please note that you are only allowed to use graphite pencils. So please do not bring pens, markers, biros, wet materials, charcoal pencils, coloured pencils etc. Your sketchbook or drawing board should be no larger than A3 size. I recommend carrying a pencil sharpener with an enclosed pot to collect the shavings. You can check the NG's policy on sketching here :-
