Come and paint human figures in the nude and clothed in our friendly and welcoming studio in the centre of the city. If you’ve been looking for things to do in London that will expand your art skills, then this painting course is for you.

Under the guidance of our friendly artists, you will be using water-based oil paints or acrylic paints to create incredible art that captures the beauty of the human form. You learn painting techniques like ‘alla prima’ (wet-on-wet painting where layers aren’t left to dry) and master the brush and paints with loads of helpful advice from your teachers.

Although you will learn plenty of practical skills about tonal values working with colour and how to represent textures of skin and clothing on the paint canvas, you will also gain some insight into art history with a discussion on relevant artists such as Freud, Degas and Schiele.

You’ll be encouraged to find the emotive aspect in your work and refine your approach to painting human figures. Once your confidence in these skills has grown, you will then work on a longer pose over two art classes.

During these five painting workshops, you will learn:

  • How to work on an observation drawing.
  • Proportion, scale, space, tone and perspective.
  • To develop and create a limited palette.
  • How to work at an easel and get comfortable with your standing technique.
  • To sketch with graphite, charcoal and pastels.
  • Colour mixing and brush techniques.
  • To paint a variety of life models, both nude and clothed.
  • How to create the texture of fabrics onto canvas.
