I would like to announce the opening of a school that is designed specifically to teach the art of portraiture. It will be based in London and called the London Academy of Representational Art. This is an exciting and ambitous project, which I hope may interest some of you. Please check out www.thelara.com for further info or e-mail me directly.

Just to keep you updated! We have an article coming out in The Jackdaw next month - an excellent magazine for all those that believe art should involve some modicum of skill! Find it on www.thejackdaw.com

Is anyone aware of any other schools which are specifically for portraiture/realist art? We are trying to establish links so would be really grateful for any information.

I am unable to get this web site: www.thejackdaw.com

Any suggestions?

My computer shows the site as "under construction" -- no other details.
