Fine art courses
Life and Cast Drawing
The Charles H. Cecil Studios offers a thorough training in the naturalistic tradition of drawing and painting from life. Fundamental to the training is sight-size, a technique that stems directly from the leading ateliers of nineteenth-century Paris and is a portrait practice that has been used by masters since the seventeenth century, including Reynolds, Lawrence and Sargent.
Sessions are Tuesday and Friday afternoons; this course can be taken alongside Italian and History of Art month-long courses.
