Start your weekend exploring the animal kingdom with this online drawing class.

During this Saturday Sketch Club artist Lee Putman will teach you to look at wildlife with an artist’s eyes. Working with a live animal model, you will learn the fundamentals of drawing wildlife. Lee will take you through a series of demonstrations and short exercises teaching you to break down animal figures into basic forms and see the distinctive details which make an animal unique.

Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of online monthly art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practising artist, these live-streamed classes are designed for everyone. Sessions take place online via a live webinar.

Share your work with the online Sketch Club community by posting your drawings to X or Instagram using the hashtag #RASketchClub or join our Facebook group to connect with other participants.

Lee Putman is a London-based contemporary artist and educator best known for his depictions of wildlife and street dancers. Lee places narrative at the centre of his work, which he uses as a vessel for teaching and storytelling, he describes education as his ‘driving force’.

For this class, all you will need is a pencil, paper and an eraser.

Live closed captioning (CC) is available for this event.
