Keep your creativity moving
There is something lovely about having a regular place to return to your drawing. You do not have to do it all on your own.
Each Saturday we meet for portrait practice. I set a weekly drawing challenge, and every so often I demonstrate it first so you can see how I approach it. Then we work together in a small group. Between sessions, our private Facebook practice group is where we share our work. Now and then I may draw one of you while I work and post it there too.
Complete beginners through to more experienced artists are all welcome. Everyone needs a place to keep improving their skill, and even advanced students will find room in this creative space.

What is Spirit Art?
Your Club questions
Student's club portraits
Is this spirit art practice suitable for beginners?
Yes. Complete beginners can build their face-drawing foundations, including proportion and likeness. Experienced spirit portrait artists can refine those skills through regular tutor-led practice. The Club focuses on drawing practice, rather than promising mediumship training or particular results. Explore What is Spirit Art?
When will my next payment be taken?
If you pay £49.99 for February, your next payment is 6 March 2027. Subsequent payments are on the 6th of April, May and June. There is no July charge. For a later starting month, your first renewal is the following month's 6th.
Can I book just one month?
Yes. Choose a £60 One-Month Pass and an available month between February and June 2027. It is a single payment with no automatic renewal.
How do I stop my membership renewing?
Email info@intuitiveartist.co.uk to request cancellation before your next renewal. Anne-Marie will stop future charges and confirm cancellation. You keep the month already paid for; any refund request is reviewed separately.
Are the classes always on the payment date?
No. Classes begin on the first Saturday and run for four Saturdays each month. Subscription renewals are on the 6th. This means April and June start before their renewal dates.
How will I receive the Zoom details?
Once you have paid, unlock the Members' Zoom room just below these questions using your Club code or the email you booked with. Membership also includes access to the private Facebook practice group.
Will the Club continue in July?
This season ends in June. July is not included and you will not be charged for it. Anne-Marie will decide separately whether the Club continues.

How a Club session flows

I set a focused challenge. Sometimes I demonstrate it first, live.

Draw, share, grow
You draw in a small group, then share your work in our private Facebook group.
Why learn with an established tutor?
A group that simply gets together to draw is lovely for company, but nobody is guiding you. Small habits can creep in unnoticed: proportions that drift, or faces that all start to look like the same person. With an experienced tutor, every challenge has a purpose. You see the technique demonstrated and get gentle, honest feedback, so each week builds properly on the last.
I have demonstrated Spirit Portraiture to audiences of more than 100 people, with one hand, both hands and even with my eyes closed. That only works when the foundation drawing skills are strong, and that is exactly what we practise here.
Dropping in for a few classes now and then can be fun, but that is all it tends to be. The subtle progress, in your likeness, your shading and your confidence, only really shows itself after six months to a year of steady development. That is the journey the Club is built for.
Learning to draw faces
Build proportion, likeness and confidence from the ground up.
Working towards spirit portraits
Strengthen the eye-to-hand skills your future spirit work will depend on.
Already drawing spirit portraits
Sharpen accuracy so each communicator looks like their own unique person.
