We’re running regular, FREE online portrait drawing sessions. They’re a chance to draw or paint from high resolution photographs at the same time every week (Sunday from 2pm – 3pm (UK time)).

The videos mimic a traditional portrait drawing session. We'll put up a photograph for 10 minutes you can work from, then one for 20 and then one for 30. At the end of the session we'll give a link where you can download the photographs from so you can continue working on your drawings.

This week Lizet will be drawing and giving hints and tips. Here are the materials she is using but obviously feel free to use any medium and materials you're comfortable with - even just a pencil and some printer paper will do.

Materials Lizet generally uses in her portrait and figure drawing videos:

Kraft brown paper:
