LARA Bids Goodbye for Now, but Not Forever: It is with a heavy heart that I am having to close down the LARA London studio due to the insurmountable difficulties Covid_19 has caused. Watch this space for a better and stronger LARA in another form.. James, LARA Director
Our charity, Friends of LARA, will still be running and any support to enable LARA to forge a new direction would be greatly appreciated in these challenging times. Please see buff.ly/2DDHcnS to donate.

This lovely portrait was by former #LARA student @denisonpender for his 2019 solo exhibition: The Heart of London. Max has gone on to achieve great things since studying at LARA. #Portrait #MaxDenisonPender #Portraiture #Realism #Atelier #RepresentationalArt #artistsofinstagram

While the LARA studio is closed, why not use this period as an opportunity to improve your technical skills? Our #LARA journal is a great resource for technical guides & tutorials. This image is from our post on fundamental forms, see buff.ly/2xFv16S for more
#LARA alumnus @lewishazelwoodhorner loves his animals. This is Bruce, painted by Lewis last year!

An oldie but a goodie. We love the pose of this #grisaille drawing by #LARA tutor @charliepickardart - about as upside down as we've been feeling these past few weeks! #ArtistsofInstagram #Learntodraw #Atelier #Sightsize #Drawing #Sketch #ArtSchool #RepresentationalArt #Realism
This fantastic charcoal drawing was produced by #LARA student @cmtoomeyart during term 1 2020. So many current students showing great promise!

Why Choose an #Atelier Training? Former #LARA student @alastairbrownart recently exhibited at the @royal_society_british_artists annual exhibition at the @mallgalleries. In this interview he talks about why he chose traditional training, over a university degree.

It's a real privilege to work with a live model as an artist, and we're sure many of our students are missing their studio time with professional models at #LARA. #LifeModel #LifeDrawing #DrawingfromLife #PaintingfromLife #Atelier #LearntoDraw #LearntoPaint

Tiepolo offers us a masterclass in hatching and line work in this forceful drawing.
