About Bruce

I am a professional fine artist specialising in painting, portraiture and drawing, with training across leading institutions in London and Rome.

I have studied at Central Saint Martins, the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, and completed a Master’s degree with distinction in Digital Arts at the University of the Arts London. I also trained for two years at the Scuola Libera del Nudo in Rome, focusing on advanced life drawing and painting.
While my primary practice is in fine art, portraiture has been a central part of my professional career, providing a rigorous technical foundation through years of high-level commissioned work. Alongside this, I have produced official portrait commissions for the Vatican, exhibited internationally, and received awards for my painting.

I have over 20 years of teaching experience across a wide range of levels within fine art. During my time in Rome, I taught private students from complete beginners to advanced artists, focusing on painting and drawing with an emphasis on strong technical and observational skills. I also founded and ran a life drawing school, offering both advanced classes in high-level painting and drawing from life, as well as open sessions for all levels and media. In addition, I have trained professional artists in advanced airbrushing techniques, preparing them to produce high-end work for the international art market.

What I offer:
I provide tailored one-to-one tuition for:
• Beginners starting from scratch
• Intermediate artists looking to strengthen technique
• Advanced artists seeking mentorship and refinement
Lessons focus on:
• Strong technical foundations (drawing, colour, form, anatomy)
• Mastery of materials and processes
• Developing your own personal artistic voice
My teaching approach:
My goal is not just to teach technique, but to help you understand how to see and think like an artist.
I guide students through structured challenges designed to build confidence, sharpen observation, and push their work to a higher level—whether your goal is personal development, portfolio building, or professional practice.

The first step is to understand your goals, experience level, and what you want to achieve. Based on this, I design lessons specifically tailored to you—whether you are exploring art for the first time, developing your skills further, or preparing a strong portfolio for a specific course or opportunity.
Lessons are structured to guide you clearly and progressively towards your goals. I break down each stage of the process so you can build confidence, develop technical ability, and gain a deeper understanding of your chosen medium.
I work with students at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced artists seeking high-level technical refinement or mentorship.
My approach typically begins with strengthening core fundamentals—such as drawing, observation, form, and colour—before moving into focused projects. These may be technical exercises to build precision, or more open-ended work aimed at developing creativity and personal style.
I offer online lessons, and for those based in or near London, I can arrange face-to-face sessions. I also host classes in my studio and am happy to work with small groups.
