SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT LIST, with links to buy.

Study of a #rose created to as a demonstration in my Monday online drawing session. I'm teaching flower drawing online tomorrow for the Royal School of Needlework. It's full! But other drawing classes are available. Looking at structure in my #thursdaydropindrawing session with some broccoli. An informal live online drawing practice session in a small friendly group, open to all. See link in my biog. Drop-in online drawing class tonight at 7.30 GMT. See www.carolinehomfray.co.uk/drawing for details Today it is two years since I ran the first pilot zoom class for the Royal School of Needlework. It was the last of a three day drawing course. With no prospect of delivering it in person, we thought it worth a try. Sarah de Rousset Hall's embroidery class followed as the first scheduled live online stitch class. Online live classes are now a permanent part of the RSN's class schedule, with students from around the world, some of whom might never have come to Hampton Court. I've reflected about the experience in my blog: www.carolinehomfray.co.uk/blog. Did you take any of those early online classes with me? I'd love to hear what it was like for you. Quick colour study. You can come and learn about drawing flowers with me online for the Royal School of Needlework on 18th May. www.royal-needlework.org.uk/courses/day-classes/ Online beginner's drawing starting soon! it's just two Saturday morning sessions of three hours each. If you've ever wanted to learn to draw - to design something, or just for the sake of it - this could be for you. A small, friendly, supportive class environment, an experienced teacher, from the comfort of your own home, and some time-honoured principles you'll wonder why no-one ever showed you. Two online sessions using Zoom, Saturday mornings 12th and 19th March, 10 am to 1 pm. #stillife #sewingtools #graphite #graphitedrawing #Thursdaydropindrawing #thursdaydrawing #artclass #drawingonline #drawingathome Pipe and tabor, violins, mandolin, guitar, whistles, hurdy-gurdy, harp.
