Review-

‘My last piece was a four week online course and because of her teaching my work ended up being terrific. She talked us through every step of the way and I always felt inspired, relaxed and uplifted after each session.

Susannah has a way of engaging and explaining that is so real that you feel she is in the room with you which is an essential element in working online. Aside from that her encouragement to me and to everyone in the class was fantastic and so the group atmosphere was always so warm and welcoming.’ - Vivien - 4 week Online Portrait Course

David Hockney special - Susannah will draw a Flower in a glass or plastic bottle on gingham table cloth inspired by David Hockney. It is your choice what you draw. You may draw a different object in your own way or follow along.

Lunchtime

12:30 - 13:30 British time 🇬🇧

The aim is simple: to step away for a little while from the practicalities of daily life and spend time noticing the small things around us.

You’re welcome to follow the exercises or simply draw in your own way. All drawing abilities are welcome. The focus is on enjoyment and the process of looking and drawing, rather than striving for a perfect finished piece. Discover what happens when you let go of rigid expectations.

We’ll begin with a few warm-up exercises to get the hand and eye working together. Plenty of time to look closely, draw, and if you want to, show your work at the end.

As this class is new to Now, Draw! we will be trialing 10 minutes of seated stretch with a professional yoga teacher at the beginning.

Testimonial:

‘‘For years, Susannah’s classes have been one of the most inspiring and grounding parts of my week. She has a beautiful way of blending creativity with mindfulness, encouraging us not just to draw what we see, but to truly slow down and observe with care and curiosity.
Her classes create a welcoming, thoughtful space where people of all levels can grow creatively and feel supported. The sense of presence, creativity, and community she brings is rare.
Susannah’s teaching has made a real difference to my creative practice, and I know many others feel the same. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she has shared with us over the years and very excited to continue learning with her at Now, Draw!’’

What you’ll need

• A pencil or pen. Or any materials you want to use!
• Some paper - any kind you enjoy drawing on
• Something small and interesting to draw

We especially recommend something with a lot of interesting details: a piece of fruit, a clove of garlic, a shoe, a leaf, a flower. 

If in doubt, a piece of fruit is full of beautiful irregularities and tiny details that reveal themselves when you slow down and really look.
