This is a formal drawing & painting course with a view to sitting an art entrance exam for schools, applying for a scholarship where a portfolio of art work must be submitted or if they want lessons in smaller grouped sessions. The course consists of drawing & painting, watercolours, acrylics, pencils & pastels will be explored. We will look at drawing techniques: measuring for drawing accuracy, shading & composition. The course is taught in very small groups. Over the years we have enjoyed excellent success rates with our students being offered art places at Holland Park School and City of London Girls & Northbridge House.
