“As a stone cold beginner I was encouraged and inspired by all the artists who transmitted their joy of painting and how painting should be enjoyable.”
"As a first time attendee, I didn't know what to expect, I was totally blown away by the quality of every presentation and each artists commitment to the learning process. This far exceeded my expectations and I'll be back next year."
“I had a fabulous four days and plenty more painting to do! Thank you so much Eric Rhoads and the entire team and all the artists. Food for the soul”

Drawing isn't new - it's been the backbone of great art for centuries. Every confident painting starts with a confident drawing: line, mass, value, and perspective are the tools that make everything else work.
Artists love drawing because it needs almost nothing - a pencil and paper - yet it builds the skills that carry into every medium you'll ever touch.
For some, drawing is the perfect daily practice. For others, it becomes their primary art form.
Who is This Special Live Event For?
Drawing Live is for you if you’re:
- An artist who wants to draw but never learned the fundamentals properly
- Frustrated by stiff proportions, overworking, or not knowing when to stop a drawing
- Someone who wants clear, practical instruction instead of piecing things together from YouTube
- An artist who wants to draw with more intention, confidence, and control, not guesswork
This is a live, two-day online event bringing together respected drawing artists to help you understand how drawing really works, so you can draw with more clarity, confidence, and control.
No matter your background — watercolor, oil, illustration, or mixed media — you’ll learn practical drawing techniques, stronger decision-making, and a clear process you can apply immediately.
You’ll experience:
- Live demonstrations that show exactly how artists think, layer, and solve problems in real time
- Clear guidance on when to layer, when to simplify, and when to stop — without overworking
- A renewed sense of confidence and momentum you can carry into your next drawing

February 17-18, 2027. You can attend live or, depending on your ticket tier, watch replays after the event.
Drawing Live is perfect for:

No problem! Platinum and Diamond ticket tiers include replay access, so you can rewatch sessions, pause, and draw along on your own schedule. Just choose the option that fits how you want to experience the event.
You will have streaming access on our platform. The bandwidth will vary depending on connection speed and many other factors, but we estimate around 5GB of data would get used for the event.
The demos are NEW content with some being live and some being pre-recorded with the artist talking live over the demo.
The Q&A will be a live text chat happening simultaneously with the prerecorded demo- very similar to our Facebook Live artist of the day events.
You’ll experience:
• How master artists use the four tools of drawing: line, mass, perspective, and value
• A variety of line, value, and mark-making styles
• Composition, perspective, and design decisions in real time
• When artists choose to push, simplify, or stop a drawing
• New ways to think about your own process and creative direction
You don’t need to be an expert, but some familiarity with drawing will help you get the most out of Drawing Live.
Drawing is the foundation of every other medium. It strips art back to line, value, and form - no color mixing, no drying times, no expensive materials. That simplicity is what makes it the fastest way to build real skill, and the skills you gain carry directly into painting in any medium.
You’ll learn from leading drawing artists who share their personal approaches, complete demos, and real-time insights. You can explore our world-class faculty by clicking here.
Every session includes Q&A, and you’ll also be part of a vibrant community chat. Plus, you can join optional breakout groups to connect with other artists.
Drawing Live is produced by the team behind PleinAir Live, Watercolor Live, Realism Live, Acrylic Live, and Pastel Live. You’ll experience high-quality live production, real-time interaction with artists, and a format designed to keep you engaged—not just watching.
