Previous Life Drawing & Painting Summer Schools Welcome to the Life drawing and Painting Summer Schools here at the Candid Galleries. The classes are informal and informative, with emphasis on individual tuition so you can really take things at your own pace and to your own level.

The schools take place in the beautiful first floor gallery, which is a loft style Victorian warehouse, flooded with lots of natural light. Here is what people have had to say about their experience: "A very pleasant week- I would certainly recommend it to others" "Relaxed, informative, encouraging atmosphere...great teacher and excellent model" "A chance to work with different materials and encouraged to try different ways of working" "Very well done.
