			Working from Life in the Tropics with Roger Burnett July 2013 to June 2014 — Roger Burnett's studio is located on the Caribbean island of Dominica. As a sculptor, his materials and working methods date back to the time of Michelangelo and as a water-colourist, his suggestive brush strokes and thunderous washes have a freedom that few others artists dare duplicate. The morning atelier sessions are devoted to working from the model and after lunch, students work at locations that cover the island's diverse tropical scenery. Roger's Grenadian born wife shares her 20 years experience of modelling for the arts and coaches potential models for the life classes. Dates are available year round and an inclusive fee includes tuition, accommodation, meals and transport. For further details, visit the artist's website.
