Life Drawing Classes & Courses

I offer a range of life drawing classes and life painting courses at my studio in London. If you are a beginner life drawing is the most effective way to develop your skills in drawing and painting. If you are more experienced or a professional, these life drawing courses offer intensive one-to-one tuition to help you move your work onto another level. If you are interested in portrait painting classes my life drawing classes will help you develop the skills you need - life drawing and painting is essential work for any portrait painter.
