Today's session is guided by distinguished painter, sculptor and printmaker Maggi Hambling, whose work is widely represented in several public collections.
Despite her wide range of subject matter, Hambling is commonly known for her portraits, which are expressionistic in nature and executed in bold oil and watercolours. Filmed at Hambling's bright, airy studio in Clapham, where she lives and works, her class features highly sought-after male life model Matthew Oghene.
Viewers have the opportunity to draw a nude model with the guidance of Maggi Hambling.
