INTENSIVE MASTER CLASSES IN Figurative Drawing & Painting
​

The workshops offered by the Dutch Atelier of Realist are 2-day to 5-day intensives that cover a variety of drawing and painting disciplines. Each of the workshops are led by classically trained artists and instructors from around the world. The workshop programme complements the training offered in DARA's longer courses of study.

During our workshops, students enjoy a complimentary light lunch and a friendly studio environment alongside other like-minded figurative artists. All workshops at the Dutch Atelier of Realist Art promote our school's philosophy of achieving artistic excellence through the development of a solid technical foundation and a high level of craftsmanship.

​Students age 16 and older of all levels of ability are welcome to register for any workshop. No prior artistic training or education is necessary to be eligible for enrollment, although possessing some basic drawing skills will allow students to get the full experience from each course.

​All applicants are advised to review our Studio Policies before submitting a registration form.
