About Portrait Club
The first rule of portrait club: Everybody sits for portrait club.
The idea is simple, when you join the portrait club Zoom session on a Thursday evening you will be welcomed by the host, then put into a group of 4-5 people. Everybody in that group takes it in turns to pose in front of the camera for 8-10 minutes while everybody else draws. By the end of the hour you will all have been drawn 3-4 times and will have made 3-4 drawings of other people. It’s a lighthearted, untutored session; a chance to practice drawing a wide range of faces and to meet a few new people at the same time.
Optional Theme: SPRING FLOWERS. As Spring begins, bring some flowers in! For tonight’s Portrait Club, pose alongside some flowers or grab a floral piece of clothing to pose in.
To take part, you need:
A Zoom account
A tablet or smartphone with the Zoom app or a computer with a microphone and camera.
Drawing materials
Suitable lighting for when you pose
Nb. You will need to use the ‘pin video’ function on Zoom – you can find out how to pin videos HERE.
After the session
There is no pressure to share your drawings, but if you would like to you can post them up on the Draw Community Facebook group HERE – it is a great chance to see the work other people have made and to connect with other sketchers. If you'd like to share them with us on social media just tag us: @draw_brighton #drawbrighton
