Drawing School
Staffed entirely by members of the NEAC, many of whom have a wealth of teaching experience, the Drawing School offers a thorough and sound approach to drawing in its many forms, with small classes to ensure a personal and individual tutor/student relationship.
The Drawing School is at the heart of what the NEAC represents. We run classes in the inspirational surroundings of The Royal Academy Life Room, on Wednesday evenings between 5.30 and 7.30 during RA Schools term time, and on some Saturdays. We also run short courses at various venues, mainly in London, on drawing, sketching en plein air, and working from drawing to painting. Courses are constantly in development, so please bookmark this page and check back regularly to keep up-to-date. We will also be advertising courses in the Friends’ Newsletter, available biannually.

Directions to the Royal Academy Schools Life Room: from outside the gates of the RA, on Piccadilly, look to your left to Burlington Arcade. Go up Burlington Arcade, and, at its other end, turn right. Turn right again, down the first small road that you come to. Follow that down to the back of the RA, and the RA Schools are behind the first door. They are signposted. Ask at the Porter’s Lodge for the Life Room.
Please do not contact the RA Schools for information. |
