Master Drawing Techniques

One-Year Course | Starts 22nd of September 2025 | Still Life | Life Drawing | Mentoring
£150/month, 10 months (September–June)

This year-long programme offers a rigorous and immersive education in the fundamentals of classical drawing, rooted in observational practice and traditional techniques. Designed for artists seeking to deepen their visual language, refine technical skill, and develop a cohesive body of work, this course provides a structured yet personal path of artistic development.

Students will work from life throughout, drawing from the nude figure, still life, and the natural world. With an emphasis on discipline, sensitivity, and sustained observation, each session builds toward mastery of tone, proportion, composition, and expression.

Classes are taught in small groups, allowing for individualised guidance and mentoring. Over the year, students will receive three formal appraisals with Saltaire Art School founder Nina Hunter, who offers tailored feedback and professional mentorship to support growth and direction.

This course is ideal for committed beginners as well as experienced artists wishing to revisit and deepen their practice within a classically focused framework.

Schedule: Weekly sessions from September to June
Fees: £150 per month for 10 months (total £1,300)
Location: Saltaire Art School
