Sessions take place in Topolski Studio, the atmospheric studio in the heart of South Bank that was once studio of the late artist Felix Topolski who was fascinated with drawing movement from life.

Materials
Bring your own materials, easels and boards are provided. If you are new to this we suggest large paper and dry materials like charcoal, pastel and soft pencils. You are welcome to use watercolour but no fixative, other sprays, acrylic or oils due to the historic nature of the studio and its contents.

PLEASE NOTE - NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR FILMING DURING THE SESSION

Directions to Topolski Studio: Be mindful that they are not on the same premises as 'Topolski Bar', but are located in another arch closer to the river, facing the London Eye. They are a little tucked away, but if you follow the instructions on google maps when searching for Topolski Studios (SBC Access Road, Arch 158, Hungerford Arches, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 8XU, United Kingdom), you'll find the studio.
