Everybody welcome!

We'll meet inside the Science Museum next to 'Old Bess' in the Energy Hall on level 0 at 1.30pm

For this event we've arranged a private room at the museum for the tutorial at the end of the day so we'll be able to have a quieter and more focused review of the days drawing.

This event is free but please message us to confirm your interest, or if you have any questions please get in touch.

]]><![CDATA[Drawings from Porto]]>Tue, 20 May 2025 10:38:04 GMThttps://www.drawingescapes.com/blog/drawings-from-portoHere are some drawings by Isabella from our research trip. Let us know if you're interested in joining us next May. It’s has a lovely atmosphere, with grand buildings, colourful houses and some old run-down parts. Food is great and prices are reasonable. The river is the lifeblood of the city and the history of the port is still evident. Lots of quiet locations and cafes to draw in too.

]]><![CDATA[Porto]]>Sat, 17 May 2025 11:49:09 GMThttps://www.drawingescapes.com/blog/portoWe've just returned from a research trip to Porto. We are always looking for new destinations for our regular travellers and thought that Porto might be an option for next year. Well is it?
Most certainly it is! It's got all the right ingredients. Beautiful architecture and history, peaceful parks, river views and walks, fantastic food and of course Port!

Top this off with friendly locals and reasonable prices and it's perfect! Message us if you're interested. We're planning on travelling May 2026.

So pack a sketchbook, a blanket and maybe even a picnic and come along to this regular free drawing event.

We are pleased to have our new dates for 2025 in place and hope you will be able to join us this year. We are keeping Bali, Istanbul, Spain and Krakow as our core destinations but will be researching new places too. There's a possibility of a life drawing trip to Galicia in Northern Spain in September where we have contacts with artists in La Coruña and lecturers at the University in Pontevedra. We'll keep you posted about this one. We hope to get to Gdansk again too and may tie it into the Krakow trip if we get sufficient interest. Message us for details.

Also, don't forget to get in touch with us if you have a custom destination in mind. We will do our best to make it happen!

Let's make 2025 is a happy and creative year! We hope to see you soon! ✍🏻
