The Narrative Painting Year | Thursdays  8 October 2026 – 1 July 2027

The Narrative Painting Year is a full-year studio programme built on a single, generative idea: that the people, places and everyday journeys of your own life are the richest material a painter has, and that observation is not the end of a painting but its beginning. Over three terms of ten weeks, students learn to work from what they see and then move beyond it — combining lived experience with imagination to make paintings that are both rooted and invented.
