Royal Drawing School

The Royal Drawing School was established in 2000 by His Royal Highness (then the Prince of Wales), who is passionate about raising the standard and profile of drawing as a route to innovation across fine art, filmmaking, product and game design, fashion, animation, and architecture. The school has grown into a world-class resource for any student who wants to learn to draw, offering more than 350 drawing classes to more than 1,000 full and part-time students of all ages and abilities every week. Its alumni are some of the most exciting emerging artists of today.

As an independent educational nonprofit affiliated with the Prince's Charities, the school is committed to ensuring that talented and committed students are able to benefit from its teaching, regardless of their financial circumstance. The school offers a variety of programs across two main campuses in London that are taught by more than 75 practicing artists. All programs, as well as international artist residency opportunities, are supported by a range of scholarships.
