Courses & Workshops

We endeavour to provide the highest quality tuition primarily in portrait and life drawing but over time broadening out from direct representation. We also provide untutored sessions for those who do not want to experience intervention, but also for those who want to integrate the tuition they have received. Some of our sessions engage in community projects.
