Join artist and educator Franceska McCullough for a focused, technique-driven drawing session in the inspiring sculpture galleries of the Victoria and Albert Museum. This class is rooted in traditional drawing methods and is ideal for anyone interested in learning to draw or refining their skills through direct observation.

We’ll meet just inside the museum’s main entrance on Cromwell Road between 7:00 and 7:10 PM. After that, we’ll head into the galleries to begin our class. Please arrive on time—I won’t be able to answer my phone once we begin, so late arrivals may miss out.

Participants will draw from classical sculptures using their own materials, with guidance and demonstrations throughout. I’ll offer individual feedback and help you explore techniques for mark-making, shading, and proportion.
