Flora: Summer Still Life 
Julie Held/ Charlotte Verity
24/04/2012-26/06/2012
10:00-17:00  Kensington Palace Studios
Book now

To paint a flower can be as demanding as painting a human face. We will consider how to translate into paint their brightness and fragility, their strength and their exquisite design. There will be different fresh flowers each week and in the natural light of the studios we will consider many aspects of making paintings using these fleeting motifs as our subject.

Drawing from Sculpture at the V&A: Volume, Form, and Surface
Robert Dukes / Tarka Kings
24/04/2012-26/06/2012
10:00-17:00  The V&A and Kensington Palace Studios
Book now

Drawing directly from artifacts in the V&A collection in the morning, students will encounter contrasting epochs, styles and use of materials. In the afternoon students will work at our studios a short walk from the V&A to recreate similar poses/effects from a life model. In the later weeks of this course, students will make sculptures using their drawings as a starting point. This is an ideal course for painters and drawers who wish to explore the three dimensional nature of the figure. Materials used will include drawing media and wax for preliminary maquette modeling.

Meet at the V&A then work at Kensington Palace Studios after lunch.

-Students will be sent a materials list and fact sheet before the start of the course.
