London Atelier

LARA is unique in the UK in its approach to teaching the most fundamentally important aspects of drawing, painting and sculpture from life.

Our charity, Friends of LARA, will still be running and any support to enable LARA to forge a new direction would be greatly appreciated in these challenging times. Please see https://t.co/3fStgYSyr5 to donate.

LARA Bids Goodbye for Now, but Not Forever: It is with a heavy heart that I am having to close down the LARA London studio due to the insurmountable difficulties Covid_19 has caused. Watch this space for a better and stronger LARA in another form.. James, LARA Director

While the LARA studio is closed, why not use this period as an opportunity to improve your technical skills? Our #LARA journal is a great resource for technical guides & tutorials. This image is from our post on fundamental forms, see https://t.co/WC6bmDmzjB for more

An oldie but a goodie. We love the pose of this #grisaille drawing by #LARA tutor @charliepickardart - about as upside down as we've been feeling these past few weeks! #ArtistsofInstagram #Learntodraw #Atelier #Sightsize #Drawing #Sketch #ArtSchool #RepresentationalArt #Realism

This fantastic charcoal drawing was produced by #LARA student @cmtoomeyart during term 1 2020. So many current students showing great promise!

Why Choose an #Atelier Training? Former #LARA student @alastairbrownart recently exhibited at the @royal_society_british_artists annual exhibition at the @mallgalleries. In this interview he talks about why he chose traditional training, over a university degree.

It's a real privilege to work with a live model as an artist, and we're sure many of our students are missing their studio time with professional models at #LARA. #LifeModel #LifeDrawing #DrawingfromLife #PaintingfromLife #Atelier #LearntoDraw #LearntoPaint

Tiepolo offers us a masterclass in hatching and line work in this forceful drawing.
