Improve your observational sketching and learn how to sketch in one-point perspective at the V&A Museum, with experienced illustrator and tutor Natalie Arnold.
This session is aimed at improving your observational sketching using perspective drawing techniques. It is suitable for all - beginners who are new to drawing, artists wanting to improve their technique and designers looking to enhance their freehand sketching skills. Some drawing experience is helpful but not essential as tuition is tuned to the individual - whatever level of drawing you are currently at!
You will be calmly guided through the perspective sketching process in what aims to be an enjoyable and creative session. A maximum of 10 students enables more individual attention for each student and a better learning experience.
By the end of the workshop, you'll take home a sketchbook filled with your drawings, showing your progress, growing confidence, and the techniques you've learned along the way. You'll also have at least one one-point perspective drawing that you'll be pleased with.

  • 5/5 from Michele Bernini, attended Jul 2026: Natalie Is a great teacher and the content is accessible and interesting for people with different skill levels. As a complete beginner I learned useful basic concepts to sketch with perspective. Strongly recommended!

  • 5/5 from Marisa Matey, attended May 2026: Natalie was an absolute gem. She has lots of patience, explains things in detail and spends time with you explaining areas of improvement. I will definitely do it again
  • 5/5 from Kerrie Kong, attended Mar 2026: Great teacher! Fun course.
  • 5/5 from Bríd, attended Feb 2026: This was the third time I had taken a class from Natalie. She creates an enjoyable experience with the setting and having a smallish group of people which allows her time to give both group and individual instruction. I highly recommend especially if you feel you never quite got the instruction you wanted when it comes to perspective in other classes or if you just need a refresher. Natalie is friendly and encouraging and there are always a variety of levels of drawing ability in the class so no need to worry about being the best.
  • 5/5 from Johanna Evans, attended Feb 2026: Lovely day, great tuition, and a lovely relaxing class to do. I especially loved sketching in the glass gallery as a warm up exercise. It was a small class size with lots of individual guidance. I left feeling really positive and happy and pleased with what I had drawn.
  • 5/5 from Debra Grace Jia En Lim, attended Jul 2025: Natalie was an excellent and very encouraging teacher. She walked us through all the steps patiently and gave lots of very handy tips to assist our sketching process.
  • 5/5 from Clara Ferreyra, attended Jul 2025: I had a lovely class with Natalie at the V&A! She was kind, patient and gave me really helpful pointers on where I can improve. I enjoyed the exhibits she took us to and feel much more confident about drawing buildings, rooms and objects than before. I can't wait to practice!
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Cattaneo, attended Jun 2025: This class improved my drawing skills and knowledge enormously. Terrific teaching! Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Jonathan Wheeldon, attended May 2025: A great experience. As an absolute beginner I learned so much and feel confident to build on what I learned. Natalie is an excellent teacher.
  • 5/5 from Virginia Zane, attended Apr 2025: We had a fantastic time and learned a lot with Natalie instructing us. I can’t wait to start sketching more, and we loved the V&A. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Zoe Taylor, attended Feb 2025: Natalie was such a great teacher and a lovely person to chat with. She obviously knew the museum well and knew where the most reliable places to sit and draw were. The course was well-planned to build on skills, both pre-existing and from the progression from beginning to end of the day. And she was very willing to work with even an experienced artist and gave me a new perspective on some techniques and had me drawing objects that were out of my usual comfort zone. I highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Zara Machado, attended Oct 2024: Really fantastic introduction to what can be a very tricky technique! The course was thoughtfully structured and Natalie was a patient, thorough and insightful teacher. The venue is brilliant of course - really conducive to perspective sketching. I picked up a ton of different tips and am looking forward to trying them out!
  • 5/5 from Kathrin Sayk, attended Sep 2024: We had such a great time at the V&A with Natalie! Learned a ton but still relaxing and more importantly, a very fun way to spend a Sunday! Would recommend! 10/10
