THE SARUM STUDIO
DRAWING AND PAINTING COURSES
The Sarum Studio offers the only courses in the UK committed to sight-size drawing and painting. Beginners work from the cast and life model before proceeding to portrait drawing and painting, while more experienced students often return to further develop their skills. Sustained projects allow ample time for criticism and the study of shape, colour/values and modelling.
A number of students book in for the full ten weeks (or eleven this year - 2012) in order to work through through a structured course of study spread conveniently throughout the year. There is a special price for this; please enquire.
