The oldest studio in the yard and the messiest. You draw from life every morning of the first term, then you paint for the rest of the two years, mostly at a size that scares you a little.
What you will do
- The life room
Three mornings a week of drawing from a model, in charcoal, ink and then paint.
- Ground and surface
Stretching, sizing and priming your own canvases. Yes, with gesso.
- Colour, slowly
A term on mixing from a limited palette, before you are allowed the whole box.
- Large work
Year two ends with one painting over two metres wide, shown in the degree show.
Your tutor · Head of Painting

“Stop being careful in week one. You can be careful in year two.”
