Patrick’s structured programmes for DRAWING AND PAINTING – are offered in both LANDSCAPE and LIFE DRAWING & PORTRAITURE

at 3 levels (each 5 night course attendable separately, each at a SPECIAL PRICE, offering supreme value for money), roughly equivalent to:

BASIC — INTERMEDIATE — ADVANCED

To encourage you, attend all three Stages of a programme and receive an additonal £100 credit to use at Higham.

The aim is to offer a structured programme for the serious development of artistic skills. In small groups, students can expect to develop both their practice and understanding of theory to a high level. This quality of art tuition should be a part of every single serious artist’s experience.

If you are serious about properly developing your art skills, 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 and in depth, is very rare these days and provides a good formal choice as a traditional complement to our other art courses, which are deliberately less formal.
