A YEAR’S WORTH OF EXPERT ART TUITION

Perfect your practice in 2022 with an in-person workshop and a 12-month supply of virtual classes at Gloucestershire’s RAW UMBER STUDIOS

One of the best ways to boost your creative techniques and skills is committing to a regular schedule, whether it’s by carving out time for a daily drawing session or signing up to a weekly art class. To help you create more consistent habits in 2022, we’ve teamed up with Raw Umber Studios to offer five readers the chance to win a one-year subscription to the art school’s online sessions worth £160.

One of these lucky winners will also receive a place on a three-day oil painting workshop led by Artists & Illustrators contributor Lizet Dingemans at the Stroud-based studio.

Raw Umber Studios is dedicated to teaching the skills artists require for representational art, with subscribers able to attend the school’s twice weekly online sessions. Led by tutors offering demos, tips and feedback, these live classes focus on both portrait and figure drawing sessions.

The subscription also includes access to an extensive library of model images, as well as to recordings of live sessions dating back almost two years to March 2020.

Longer courses are available to follow too, such as Lizet’s five-week course on drawing fundamentals and others on portrait painting, plein air painting, painting with economy and cast painting.

Meanwhile, those who would prefer to attend such courses in person at the Gloucestershire studio will be delighted with the school’s 2022 calendar. Although not part of the annual subscription, students can still book onto workshops, ranging from painting the figure to finessing still life skills and all taught by classically trained artists.

Artists based nearby can also attend drop-in life drawing sessions every other Thursday. For more information on what’s available, visit www.rawumberstudios.com.

One winner, chosen at random, will receive:

● A one-year Raw Umber Gold Subscription

● A place on Painting the Alla Prima Still Life with Lizet Dingemans, a three-day workshop worth £270 that will run 20-22 January 2022 at Raw Umber Studios in Stroud.
