I would thoroughly recommend an afternoon spent @ a life drawing class with Noel. She is a lovely , friendly artist who made me feel totally at ease. Even though I am new to drawing she gave me the confidence to try something new and I was surprised by how much I learned in a short space of time. Overall it was an unforgettable afternoon and a great start to my trip to London

The class was brilliant, and Noel is a top-notch guide and teacher. Her enthusiasm for teaching and sharing her wealth of experience is wonderful, and the class is just a blast. All around, I'd recommend this class. All levels can benefit, from total novice to seasoned sketcher. Thanks Noel! Stuart

I planned to have a slow afternoon to recuperate from my jetlag before I began my hectic schedule in London. Noel's class fit in perfectly. Her guidance was helpful and the model (good.ness.gracious) was friendly and professional in her poses. My last life drawing was about 20 years ago and I would certainly do it again. April

I loved this class! This was just the thing I needed to push me to draw more.This class is great if you're a beginner(like me) or experienced. Her guidance was extremely helpful with tips and tricks to get the anatomy right. I wish I could post the before and after pics of when we started the class to when we ended the class! I was amazed at how much I grew in those hours. If I come back to London, I will definitely be taking this class again. This time with a little more experience on my belt! ;)

I had a very nice and creative experience with Noel and her model Carla. We worked on a theme " Frida Chalo" and Carla was brilliant!. Noel was very approachable and available for any input. Nice atmosphere and environment! Hayoung

I booked the drawing session for my husband and myself as a part of celebration our anniversary. It was an amazing experience! I like that the session starts with a model wearing some costumes - never heard before but so much fun! She taught the basic technique in the beginning and helped us explore the life drawing for the rest of the workshop. A great thing about the location being above of a vintage clothing shop with a bar, we got some wine glasses and beer on Sunday afternoon :) it was an affordable & easy to follow workshop. Highly recommend to bring your friends and love ones! Adam

Noel is a fantastic teacher and this is a wonderful way to learn how to draw and / or refine your drawing abilities. The model she had (Manko) was absolutely stunning and made for, well, modeling. This is worth repeating, it's that good! Ruby

Enjoyed this class so much - I hadn't drawn in 7 years and Noel knew exactly how to help me get back into it. The model was the best I've ever had the privelege to draw with so much energy and personality - and the punk costume element made it much more interesting and dynamic. Will definitely go again!

Huge congratulations to Klara for finishing her acrylic painting after “Young sick Bacchus” by Caravaggio. It is a tremendous endeavour for a beginner artist to embark on such a project- one which requires so much learning, patience and endurance as well as expert step by step teaching. You made it and have us all super proud and emotional! Also huge congrats to her main teacher Jess Indigo Page-Jarrett for his encouragement and guidance!🥂💐✨❤️

Congratulations to Suki for her painting after contemporary British painter Jonathan Wateridge. Brilliant work! The original painting belongs to a series exploring his experience growing up in a British enclave in Southern Africa, deals with race + privilege. He created sets, similar to those used in films and used life models to paint from.

Congrats Chloe for her finished piece after Lucien Freud! We are so proud of your hard work 🌸✨ Freud is a favourite inspiration for many of our students and a great one for beginners to work from. His approach of defined + distinct planes with directional mark making helps to understand facial anatomy. His palette is incredible helpful to teach and learn the balance of cool and warm tones and proximity of values needed to achieve harmony.
