Session 2: Drawing yourself as The Artist.

In this session we will be working through a collection of short drawing exercises which combine looking and then changing what you see. We will work from historical images, and a little bit from our imagination, to create images of ourselves as artists. It's an intriguing process and great way to begin to draw people if you are a beginner. For more experienced artists, it's a very effective technique to loosen up! 

Each session includes a gentle warm up and a written journaling exercise to accompany your sketches.

This exploratory drawing session is designed to help you loosen up, build confidence, and develop your own unique line. It's great to help you focus and find your own voice.

In addition to the materials listed below, you will need access to a mirror for this session.

Live Wonky Draw Wonky

This year, the Wonky Line Drawing Club focuses on drawing from observation and memory—a process that encourages you to trust your instincts, combine what you see with what you imagine, and create work that feels more personal and expressive.

Rather than aiming for “perfect” drawings, these sessions invite you to embrace a more illustrative, intuitive approach, where there is no right or wrong—just a process of discovery.

What to Expect

There are 6 sessions in this collection.

Each session is designed as a stand-alone experience, while also forming part of a wider seasonal practice.

In every session, you’ll be guided through:

• A simple, engaging warm-up exercise
• A focused drawing practice
• A short journaling prompt

Sessions are lightly guided rather than heavily taught, with encouragement, prompts, and inspiration to help you find your own way.

---

You’ll be working with:

• Visual references provided on screen
• Your own objects and surroundings at home

Each session also includes a spring-inspired journaling idea to explore in your own time.

A Note on the Experience

This is not about getting things right.

It’s about trying things out, following your curiosity, and allowing your line to evolve naturally.

Expect a session that feels open, creative, and a little bit unexpected!

What people are saying:

THANK YOU for inviting me to your "Free Work-a-long" yesterday!  For me - it was so enjoyable listening to you talk about your creative life and art.  In addition, I absolutely loved seeing the artwork created by the other ladies and listening to them discuss projects, books, meeting people, etc.  This was like a 'VISUAL PODCAST" where we worked along with you.~Karla
