workshops

The workshops offered by DARA 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. Workshops are an excellent opportunity to study and incorporate the methods of a variety of different artists, and are designed to complement the training offered in our Part-Time Programme of study.

Our workshop students enjoy a complimentary light lunch and a friendly studio environment to hone their skills in figurative drawing and painting. All workshops promote our studio's fundamental philosophy of achieving artistic excellence through the development of a high level of technique and draftsmanship.

​Students of all levels of ability are welcome to register, although possessing some basic drawing skills will allow students to fully benefit from each course.

Please review our Studio Policies before submitting a registration form.
