About Draw & Etc. Draw running online drawing classes and in-person sessions in the UK. We believe that good quality drawing education should be accessible to everybody and usually run drop-in, short-term and long-term courses from our Brighton studio. Our long running Etc. programme is intended to complement our practical workshops with artists’ talks and panel discussions on the themes of drawing, the arts and the body. We run online life drawing and portait drawing classes through our Patreon, which also helps us to fund these online videos.
