  • BP Portrait Award 2020
    RED BERET THOMAS ARTHURTON (b.1985) Oil on canvas Born in Norwich, Thomas Arthurton studied history of art at the University of York and Courtauld Institute of Art before studying painting at the Florence Classical Arts Academy and St Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where he is currently enrolled as a student specialising in portraiture. The portrait is of Arthurton’s fellow artist, Liza. The sittings took place in the attic of the St Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, which is a communal space for all students. Painted during the dark winter evenings, the portrait was completed by artifcial light with the red beret creating a focal point and highlight. Arthurton says some parts are deliberately unfnished ‘so that the painting is like a memory in which parts fade whilst at the same time remembering what is essential.’ DAPHNE, HARINGEY RESIDENT TIM BENSON (b.1978) Oil on canvas Tim Benson studied at Glasgow School of Art and Byam Shaw School of Art. Since 2011, his work has been frequently selected for the annual exhibitions of the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Discerning Eye. He is currently President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Benson was previously included in the BP Portrait Award in 2012. The portrait is of the artist’s friend, Daphne. UNTITLED ROBERT BOSISIO (b.1963) Oil on board Born in Italy, Robert Bosisio studied painting at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna and won a scholarship from the Province of Bolzano to study in New York.

  • Information for International Students
    INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS The Foundation Year Art Foundation Course in London, UK OUR ROYAL OVERVIEW FOUNDING PATRON Royal Drawing School Founded by HRH The Prince of Wales and artist Catherine Goodman, the Royal Drawing School is an independent art school that aims to raise the standard and profile of drawing through teaching and practise. Over the years, the School has forged a unique and vital place in the art education landscape. Alongside The Foundation Year, the Royal Drawing School offers an MA-level postgraduate programme, public courses for adults and children, bespoke drawing courses and an international residencies programme. HRH The Prince of Wales ‘In establishing the School, it was our hope that we could provide a space in which expert teachers could help our students to see the world with greater clarity and sensitivity, whether that vision was ultimately expressed through painting, sculpture, illustration, animation, film or design. It is my firm belief that drawing is one of the most direct ways of engaging with the world and, like music and dance, needs to be taught and practised throughout an artist’s life. The Royal Drawing School [is] dedicated to ensuring that observational drawing remains an evolving and vital force in the arts, in perpetuity. I am determined that the Royal Drawing School will continue to grow as a specialist, educational resource of international standing and that it will remain open to all, regardless of background or circumstance.’ Careers in the Creative Industries HRH The Prince of Wales, Royal Founding Patron The creative industries are thriving in the UK, currently growing at nearly triple the rate of the wider UK economy.
