In the late 1700's as art academies and drawing training evolved, plaster casts of great works of sculpture, were collected by the academies. Students were able to study and draw the effects of light and shadow as it fell over the motionless human form.

At present, in the fine arts institution setting, little is handed on from teacher to student in drawing and painting. As a result students spend long hours working alone, reinventing the wheel.
Building a discipline, through routine, strengthens a work ethic, allowing students to develop the playfulness essential to practice. In this way creativity can be harnessed, rather than chasing the ever shifting goal of the ‘avant-garde’.
Our intention is to advance the teaching of drawing and painting, providing solid training in strategies and procedures for developing work. We offer a wide range of classes for all students, whether you’re an experienced artist taking your work to a new level, a student currently studying in one of the local art institutions, or a beginner interested in finding your hand, the Drawing Studio is a resource for all.
Life Drawing sessions are an opportunity to practise drawing a life model. These sessions are separate to Vincents’ General Studio hours. Drawing boards and easels are provided but please bring your own paper and drawing materials.
