This school, founded by Leoni Duff Tasmania’s master pastel artist and painter, is situated in the oldest historic building in Launceston and is a highly regarded and established centre for studying the visual arts with an emphasis on learning from great artist past and present. 

How important is learning to draw?
Drawing is a necessary fundamental basis for all art forms including animation and concept design, graphic design, architecture, sculpture, industrial design, and representational painting. Animation and movie studios value artists trained in the classic tradition. Even Walt Disney encouraged his animators to regularly go out and sketch outdoors from life.

Any young artist 11-19 years old. No previous experience in classical drawing is required but applicants that can demonstrate an existing commitment and passion for drawing and will enjoy a thorough yet exciting drawing programme are encouraged to contact Manuela or Leoni at the details below.
