Patrick, our most experienced art Tutor, is now leading our special structured programmes for DRAWING & PAINTING – which we are offering in both of these areas:

• LANDSCAPE
• LIFE DRAWING & PORTRAITURE

at 3-levels (attendable individually)

• BEGINNERS
• INTERMEDIATE
• ADVANCED

Courses are appearing in our brochure and below.  The aim is to provide, for those who desire it, a structured programme for the serious development of artistic skills. Under Patrick’s guidance, in very small groups, students can expect to develop both their practice and understanding of theory to a high level.

If you are serious about properly developing your art skills, then this is a unique opportunity to do so, under the tutelage of a hugely-experienced expert, working at your own pace, free of any pressure of exams or over-formulaic course requirements. This kind of course, where technique is taught comprehensively, is very rare these days.
