Welcome to JoeDaisy Studio. We are a Professional Art Studio, located in a Grade II listed building in the conservation area of Mapledurham, just outside Reading, Berkshire, South East England, 45 miles (70 km) west of London.

We offer you a variety of Painting Holidays and Courses in a Professional Studio. All professional art materials provided. Our courses are exciting, different and creative. Your tutor guides you through every stage. Brush control, brush strokes, different techniques for different effects, composition, tonal values, focal points, colour balance, perspective and drawing. The emphasis is on you and developing your own style. We want to bring out the artist in you. So the courses are not designed to help you learn to paint.

9. After Service: a) Help by email. Ask Caroline any question and she will reply within 12-24 hours. She gets lots of emails from students who have attended the courses - asking her how to improve the painting. What first colour wash. How they can 'simplify' a scene etc.
10. You can come into the Studio and use the space and materials anytime you want to (Subject to availability)

Testimonials:
Thanks Caroline
I really, really had a great time. I will certainly be back though will get some practice in first. Perhaps later in the year - and I am tempted by Spain too!
I went for a long walk today and realised that what i want to put on canvas is what I feel - not what I see - so I'm going to use that as my 'concept' does that sound ok?
Take care - you are a brilliant teacher. Jo.
Cat - just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant course at the weekend and what a nice group. I really enjoyed it and felt that I was able to build on what I had learned in the previous course. It has given me a lot more confidence to carry on painting at home. I forgot to take my camera with me so I would love a copy of the picture you took. Would you mind e-mailing it to me?
Robin - thanks again for the lunches and for picking me up and taking me back to the station which was a great help.
Hope to see you again soon. Best Wishes. Marie

Located in Vauxhall, London, the London Atelier of Representational Art was established in response to the rarity of rigorous representational art education and is unique in the UK with its approach to teaching the most fundamentally important aspects of drawing, painting and sculpture from life. We offer fulltime and parttime drawing, painting such as bargue drawing, cast drawing and painting, portrait drawing and painting; Sculpture including intensive figure sculpture. We also offer inspirational classes to learn about the techniques of distinctive art personalities. Inspired by the atelier method of instruction, the unique emphasis of the course is given to working directly from the life model in a continuous pose of no less than a week and up to a month under unvarying (natural) north light conditions, giving optimum time to observe the figure and understand how to see. Working with tutors 6 hours a day and using the “sight- size” technique we aim to teach essential concepts of proportion, line, gesture, form and light to best master expression of the human form.
