London Arts & Entertainment Meetup Group

Do you want to learn to draw? Worried that you'll be the worst one in the room? Then our online classes are perfect for you!

Join our online community where we host weekly, beginner-friendly classes with the aim to make you feel proud of what you create. We all have to start somewhere, and your first drawing will allow you to see the improvements you make week by week! We draw different things each class so you can join a session whenever you have a spare Tuesday evening.

What To Expect?
Each week we'll be experimenting with different techniques and different things to draw. Some weeks will feel harder than others, but you'll always walk away with something you're proud of and you will always make progress.

Expect people to be chatting, and supporting each other because our community is at the heart of the class and we welcome anyone who wants to join! If you prefer to sit and draw quietly, you can switch your camera off and we’ll respect your mindful time as you listen to the chitter chatter of our students.

A Zoom link will be emailed to you on the day so please check your inbox around 3-5 pm. We ask that you arrive on time.

What's Included?
* A ticket for online class
* Class duration: 1.15
* A live tutor to help guide you

What If I’m Bad At Drawing?
Then please, grab a seat, pick up a pencil and let's begin. Trust me, I know that feeling when you think everyone will be better than you, but all of our classmates have been in that same seat and are here to support you! Everyone can draw, you’ve just never been shown how. These classes are beginner-friendly and super inclusive so you’ll feel right at home (even if you’re crapping yourself just a little bit. Newbies join us all the time.)

FAQ’S?
1.How do I choose the right brush for my painting?
The right brush depends on the type of painting you are creating. For larger washes, use a larger square brush, and for fine details, use a smaller brush. Round brushes are a good all-purpose choice for watercolour painting. See pictures for examples.

2. Can I use watercolours on any type of paper?
It's best to use watercolour paper, which is specially designed to absorb and hold watercolour paint. Regular paper may not hold up well to the wetness, cause abrasive rubbing and warp the paper.

3. Will you provide materials?
Materials won’t be provided for this class. Please provide your own materials. Just remember, the cheaper the palette, the lesser quality it maybe. Just like buying wine at a restaurant, always go for at least the second cheapest one.

4. What colours will I need before the lesson?
We can work with any colour palettes, there's always a way! This class aims to be accessible as much as possible so if you really are worried, send me a picture before of what you've got.

5. What if I need to cancel?
That’s ok! Sometimes these things happen so we try our best to accommodate you.

There is a limited number of tickets per class and we do get fully booked so if you do need to reschedule, please give 72 hours notice so we can rearrange your class.

Refunds are not available.
