Rossnaree Art School - Florence Art School,Rosnaree, Slane, Co. Meath, Ireland

Molly Judd, a young aspiring artist, began her studies in Florence, she has spent two years at the Florence Academy of Art, run by Daniel Graves, learning the techniques of the Old Masters, and following the ideal that demands a return to discipline in art and to canons of beauty. After graduating from the Drawing Program, she decided to further her Academic studies becoming apprentice to a world renowned Norwegian painter called Odd Nerdrum. After spending the last 6 months painting with Nerdrum, she has returned to Ireland to share her enthusiasm in the importance of Academic technique and share her skills. Molly will be running a 5 day course concentrating on Academic technique, the figure and portraiture. She hopes to encourage the importance of technique for either pre-leaving cert students or students wishing to give an Academic strength to their portfolios.
