Join us for an afternoon of colourful creativity inspired by David Hockney!

This is a special session to mark the opening of David Hockney: Drawing from Life at the National Portrait Gallery - an exhibition we’re thrilled to have contributed to (see below)!

We’ll also be joined by Simon Elliott - Author and Illustrator of beautiful new book Hockney: A Graphic Life. Simon will tell us all about why and how the book came about, chat a little bit about his background in art, and give us a peek at some of the original sketches. And of course, he will pose for a portrait!

The National Portrait Gallery invited us to create some fun drawing challenges for the Bloomberg Connects app, designed to inspire people who visit the gallery to try drawing in Hockney’s style afterwards. We’ll be attempting some of challenges at this session, as well as using Hockney-inspired colour palettes as we draw 8 minute poses/portraits of each other.

Bring your colouring pencils!!
