ABOUT THE TUTOR

Caroline Brooks

Caroline Brooks is a self-taught portrait artist based in Saltaire, whose artistic journey began in childhood and has quietly threaded its way through her life ever since. A brief period studying Fashion Illustration at the London College of Fashion at the age of 30 first deepened her love for drawing, but it was her return to the practice later in life that truly ignited a lasting passion.

What started as a quiet creative outlet amidst the demands of a career in academia soon evolved into a dedicated and soulful practice. Caroline now brings the same commitment and curiosity to her postgraduate studies at the Royal Drawing School’s Online Drawing Development Year.

Caroline’s work is rooted in expressive, detailed portraiture, centred on feminine power, mystery, and emotional presence. Drawing from mythology, nature, and her fascination with the Occult, she weaves contemporary narratives that explore strength, vulnerability, and transformation.

As someone who has navigated the challenges of learning to draw without formal training, Caroline understands the frustrations—and the quiet triumphs—that come with rediscovering a creative voice. She is passionate about helping others find theirs, especially those who come to drawing later in life. Her teaching invites students to grow in confidence, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the process. @carolinebrooksartist
