The Realist Academy has a one year drawing course and one year oil painting course specialising in portraiture. Our drawing will take you from the basics to a comprehensive understanding of using measurement and tone to create the illusion of form.

The course will teach you how to recreate the illusion of reality using our step by step process. Louis Smith is the principle tutor and spent years perfecting this technique. Louis has refined the delivery of each lesson by dropping and adding information to give students the maximum benefit possible.

The Realist Academy is confident that it will give students what they are looking for. However the drawing course is a challenge and not to be taken lightly
