All art materials are included on the course with exception of canvas that can be purchased from the school.
Join us for an in-studio course designed to nurture your creativity within a vibrant and dynamic artistic community.
Tailored for students eager to learn, refine, and experiment, this course offers a unique opportunity to enhance your practice and explore innovative techniques.
Under the expert guidance of Melissa and Archie, you will work with a live model and draw on a range of sources (photographs, film stills, drawings, memories, and imagination) to develop experimental approaches that yield unexpected, expressive outcomes, ultimately culminating in a cohesive body of work.
Each week, you’ll engage in group critiques and benefit from one-to-one sessions with your tutors. These sessions focus on your individual needs, helping you master essential techniques such as blending and layering to achieve nuanced skin tones and intricate hair textures, while also encouraging imaginative methods to define your personal artistic style.
If you’re ready to push the boundaries of your practice, we invite you to join our supportive community of artists in our main studio in Wood Green, London
