“I really enjoyed the back to basics drawing class with Jill. It was well-structured with an introduction to each theme followed by a ton of practice. It really inspired me to be more experimental and helped me loosen up my drawing technique.”

“Review: Look and Draw Workshops, Newhaven The Look and Draw workshops at the Attic Studio in Newhaven are a real gem for anyone interested in creativity, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist. The studio itself is bright and welcoming, with big windows that give you a lovely view out over Newhaven—an inspiring setting for a few hours of drawing. The sessions strike a perfect balance between structure and freedom. The tutored classes (like Life into the Figure) are thoughtfully planned, giving you the chance to build real skills in line, tone, and form, while still encouraging your own style to come through. The Sunday Life Drawing Club is more relaxed and untutored, with a friendly, community feel—ideal if you just want to sketch, experiment, and enjoy being part of a group. What really makes these workshops stand out is the atmosphere. The organisers foster a supportive, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome. Tea, coffee, and biscuits add to the comfort, and in many sessions the materials are provided, which takes the pressure off. Overall, Look and Draw is a wonderful mix of creativity, learning, and community. If you’re looking for an inspiring way to spend a weekend afternoon or develop your artistic practice in a warm, supportive environment, these workshops are highly recommended.”

“Jill and all the tutors at Look and Draw are the perfect blend of holding and pushing. Holding your doubts and vulnerabilities; while pushing you to where you both know you have the ability to be. There is a huge range of classes - truly something for everyone. You will be taught with energy, kindness, humour and - not least- expertise. If you’re on the fence, this is a very good place to get off it.”
