workshopsWorkshops offered by DARA are short & intensive courses that cover a variety of drawing and oil painting disciplines.
Most of our workshops consist of 30 hours of instruction (though we do offer some longer courses as well), and are led by professional artists who have been classically trained in figurative drawing and painting. Why take a workshop? Workshops offer a unique opportunity for intensive and highly personalized study within a specialized genre of drawing or painting, to develop your artistic practice further. Many workshop students are already working creative professionals seeking serious vocational training to sharpen their artistic skillset. Why choose DARA? All our workshops & visiting instructors promote DARA's core philosophy of achieving technical excellence in drawing/painting from nature. We limit our class sizes to ensure a high level of personal attention, and we are proud of the high-quality education our workshops provide. Interested in taking a workshop?
