Sunny Art Centre Central London art classes for kids, teens & adults. Drawing, painting & portfolio tuition. We house fine paintings, sculptures, ceramics and jewellery.

Our art centre is located in the heart of London only a minutes walk from Chancery Lane Tube Station on the Central line. With two whole floors of exhibition and studio space, as well as large display windows, we are simultaneously a contemporary art gallery and a studio for learning fine art techniques. The art exhibitions in our central London gallery are dedicated to fostering an understanding of the fine arts from various perspectives and social viewpoints. This allows us to stimulate debate, address questions of cultural diversity and reach out to a wide audience. Our cutting-edge art courses and workshops are led by professional artists and are drop-in classes for students of all ages and skill levels. Our aim is to bring the beauty of art to life through an extensive educational programme which is constantly developing in order to provide the best knowledge available at present.

Inspired by Henri Fantin-Latour’s Still Life with Flowers and Fruit (1866).

Fantin-Latour (1836–1904) was a French painter celebrated for his elegant flower still lifes and portraits. He developed his technique by studying and copying Old Masters at the Louvre, and became especially popular with British collectors.

His still lifes are known for their dark backgrounds, subtle colour and beautifully observed flowers and fruit.
A timeless study in light, texture and composition.

Meet Emily, who has been part of the Sunny Art Centre community for over two years.

In this conversation, Emily shares her experience of learning with us, how her practice has developed over time, and what she has enjoyed most about being part of the studio.

At Sunny Art Centre, our students work at their own pace with individual guidance from our tutors, developing both technical skills and confidence through regular practice.

We love seeing how much our students grow over time, not only in their work, but also in the way they approach their creative process.

Watch the full interview to hear more about Emily’s journey with us.

A closer look at a classical drawing study.

By focusing on the structure of the nose, students learn to observe proportion, planes, light and shadow, and subtle changes in form.

Studies like this are an excellent way to strengthen observational drawing skills and build a solid foundation for portrait and figure drawing.

A closer look at a John William Waterhouse oil painting study.

This study focuses on colour, form, light and delicate skin tones, exploring how Waterhouse built atmosphere and softness through layered oil painting techniques.

Master studies are a valuable way to understand how great painters approached composition, colour and technique, while developing stronger observational and painting skills of your own.
