July Courses | London Fine Art Studios

The July Course

Term dates, short courses & prices here.

Course Overview

Our popular summer programme is the perfect immersion in fine arts training. Students will focus on a different discipline beginning with Foundation and progressing through Figure, Portrait to Landscape or Sculpture.

Artists and students can choose to commit for the full four weeks, layering their knowledge and skills over the month; alternatively they than can select a single or combination of weeks to meet their needs and interests.

For some of our students it is the opportunity to consolidate their learning; for others, new to painting and drawing, it is the chance to learn the fundamentals and how to develop them; for those wishing to join us for the long term it offers a snapshot of the school, the method and the community.

Course Structure

Monday – Friday: 10.00am to 4pm.

Monday 4pm: an optional, untutored sketch club with a life model – an ideal opportunity to apply the teachings to your own work.

Tuesday and Friday 4pm: painting demonstrations to illustrate the logical next steps and natural progression of your work. An opportunity to watch, learn and ask questions.
