Mims Studios in Southern Pines Logo for the Mims Studios School of Fine Art - Classical Art School Training in the disciplines of Drawing, Oil Painting, Murals, Portraiture, Still Lives and Landscapes

To cross the threshold of the cast studio is to enter a world like no other.  Here the work of each student is linked to the long and distinguished tradition of copying from classical antiquity.  This approach to learning the craft of drawing and painting was developed in the Renaissance and refined over centuries of academy training, and is part of the larger curriculum which includes the study of ornament and anatomy in preparation for advanced study of the human figure.
