Discover our immersive and transformative courses, which run for between 2 to 5 days, all centred on the art of drawing from observation. It's a journey of self-expression and visual communication, making the world's true beauty come alive. Drawing from observation isn't just an artistic skill; it's a profound experience that connects us to our surroundings. It's a language that's natural and accessible to us all, offering moments of quiet reflection and fresh perspectives on the world.
Our classes are designed to nurture attentive observation and exploration of various media and techniques, enabling you to express your unique vision freely. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced artist, our courses are tailored to your needs, providing high-quality drawing tuition and personal guidance.
Nestled in the serene Kentmere valley, Long House Studios offers more than just art classes; it's a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Join us for an enriching and mindful escape, where you can not only develop your drawing skills but also find solace in the beauty of nature.
