Start your Saturday creatively with this online art class. Often our greatest artistic asset is our own imagination. In this Saturday Sketch Club, artist Emyr Williams leads you through a series of exercises to unlock your creativity and draw your own imaginative world onto paper. He will share his tips and tricks for drawing not from reality, but from the mind, in order to create your personal surrealist wonderland.
Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of online monthly art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practicing artist, these live-streamed classes are designed for everyone. Sessions take place online via a live webinar. Attendees will be sent a link to join the webinar closer to the time.
Share your work with the online Sketch Club community by posting your drawings to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #RASketchClub or join our Facebook group to connect with other participants.
