In a groundbreaking TV event broadcast across BBC Two and BBC Four, Joe Lycett hosts the biggest ever live life drawing masterclass from English Heritage’s Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. Experts Daphne Todd and Lachlan Goudie will guide celebrity amateur artists, including comedian Johnny Vegas, singer Kimberly Wyatt and footballer David James, through a series of poses inspired by classical works of art. A mixture of nude professional and celebrity life models, such as Olympic champion swimmer James Guy and Lucien Freud’s celebrated muse Sue Tilley, will recreate stunning visuals.

Josie d’Arby will encourage viewers to pick up their pencils, draw along from home and upload their work, some of which will be given feedback live on air.

So if you want to draw, tune in to BBC Four. It will be at the heart of the class with ‘Pose Cam’, providing an uninterrupted view of the poses. Artist Nicky Philipps joins Josie to reveal more of the history behind the artworks.

Class starts at 9pm! Show less
