Sketchbook: Sunday Portrait Session Tower Hill
Sun, Oct 4, 10:00 AMLet's sketch each other's portraits! I'm experimenting with something new here, let's all meet up in a coffee shop and sketch each other's portraits! The session will be super casual, we can all sit around and have a chat and sketch pictures of each other. I am more than happy to give feedback or pointers if anyone would like. Let's see how it goes :) We will have a sit in CoffeeM, Tower of London. It's a lovely big space so we should have plenty of room to sit in groups or break off into pairs if needed. It would be great if attendees could purchase a coffee or something small to help support the venue, although this isn't mandatory. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nJeRAUiUFr8V3z3k6 I'll be there from 11 and we'll go until 1pm, look for a ginger man with glasses and a sketchbook 8) Nearest Tube Stop: Tower Hill Completely free of charge, no need to sign up, bring a friend.

Sketchbook: V&A Sculpture Room
Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 AMLets sketch in the sculpture room at the V&A South Kensington I love this set of rooms, there's tonnes of amazing sculptures here. Sculptures act as such effective life drawing models cus they don't move! If anyone wishes to sketch any other part of the museum they are of course welcome to. We will meet outside the main entrance on Cromwell Road at 11am, I'll wait for about 15 minutes and then we will head in to the sculpture room together.
