Founded in 1994, the Sarum Studio is an independent atelier of fine art that offers a variety of courses throughout the year, including bespoke personal tuition, as well as workshops to suit all ages from complete beginner to fully professional. 

 

The teaching ethos at the studio is focused on the development of observational skills, and to provide a thorough grounding in the established methods of drawing and oil painting. Whether studying full time, or from time-to-time, students acquire visual and technical abilities through the practice of working from nature using a method called sight-size, whereby the artist stands back from the easel to compare artwork with the subject at the same scale.

 

​Occupying the former Choristers School - an elegant Queen Anne building of 1714, and located within Salisbury's beautiful Cathedral Close, the Sarum Studio provides a uniquely inspiring environment conducive to study, and a rewarding, enjoyable experience away from everyday distractions.
