Thank you for joining the Permission to Draw course, I’m looking forward to drawing with you.
Here is some useful information before we get started – you might want to bookmark this page for later.
When and where
The course runs for 10 consecutive weeks, from Tuesday 29th September to Tuesday 1st December 2027.
I’ll be there at 7.25pm to say hello and we will begin at 7.30pm BST, finishing at 9.00pm BST. (Note: UK changes from BST/GMT+1 back to GMT on 26th October).
I will send you a reminder email on a Tuesday morning, with a materials list for that class and the Zoom link.
Here is your meeting link for the classes:
Materials
You are welcome to use any drawing materials you have already, but we will mostly be using the following:
- Sketchbook – A5 or larger
- Pencil – HB or 2B
- Fineliner pen – black
- Sharpie marker (permanent) – black
- Graphite stick -any grade
- Conté crayon – any darkish colour
- Kneadable eraser (putty rubber)
- Small piece of tracing paper or baking parchment – A6ish
- Small piece of acetate or clear plastic – A6ish
- 3 old postcards or card of similar size A6ish (these will be cut up)
- A shell or similar interesting natural object that is around palm sized and quite 3 dimensional
- Scissors and masking/sellotape
Replays and Extras
Each class is recorded and made available on my website the following day (so you can catch up if you couldn’t attend live) along with extra exercises if you’re keen to practise in between classes. It’s not essential to do this but your drawing will improve faster if you can find a little extra time.
These are the links to the private webpages with the extras and recordings, which I’ll update after every class. You will have access to these pages for 12 months from the end date of the course. They are for your personal use only and must not be shared with anyone else, to protect the privacy of the group members.
Just in case
In the event of my not being able to host a class (through illness, technical issues or otherwise unforeseen events) I will reschedule it at another date. In the event of a longer interruption, you will be entitled to a refund for the classes not provided.
Got a question?
I’d like to invite you to this Taster session online on Tuesday 22nd September, 7.30 – 8.30pm where we can meet before the course starts and you can ask any questions you might have.
I am also happy to answer any other questions you might have before then.
