Half day workshop

Fri 12 February 2027, 10.30am-1.30pm

Come and draw from Bristol Museum and Art Gallery’s painting collection. Choose the paintings which interest you most to work from. There is a long tradition of artists learning from each other’s paintings by drawing them. The process will allow you to examine and appreciate paintings in a new way; understanding more about their structure and composition and how they are put together.

Please bring a range of dry, non-dusty drawing materials and a sketchbook with you. The tutor will also bring some materials for you to try. Precise meet-up location will be shared with participants via email a few days before the class. 

Venue - Please note, this class does not take place at the RWA. 

This class will be taking place at Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, Queen's Road, Bristol, BS8 1RL
