It is a lovely and charming art studio in Central London. I have been looking for art lessons for my 9 year old daughter for a while and it seemed a perfect fit. Teachers are amazing and really good at making young children interested in arts. My daughter loves looking around in the studio at amazing collection of different types of arts and it inspires her.

I’m very happy to attend this school! Firstly, the Sunny Art Centre is a team of professionals, where each teacher is unique. Secondly, it’s a friendly atmosphere. Thirdly, it’s an aesthetic pleasure to be inside ????. I’m very happy and glad that once this school was recommended to me and I can be a part of it) I acquire the skills I need in drawing, I saw great and rapid progress, thank you very much for your work and kindness! Highly recommend!

Love it????????????I have been going to drawing courses in this gallery for three months now! I am very satisfied; I recently bought another 40 lessons. I feel progress; drawing is getting better. The teachers are very cool. They feel where it is necessary to push you and where to give time to understand the task completely. An individual approach to each student, no matter what level you have - you will be taught to draw 100%

The teaching at Sunny Arts is exemplary. Ive learnt loads but also had a lot of fun. The vibe is super warm and friendly. The class is very diverse, both young and old working side by side with different materials, styles and aims, but it works. I'd definitely recommend it as a place to learn and develop as an artist. Ive only try onsite lessons, yet to try a virtual class.

I have been studying in Sunny Art Centre for 5 years and I learnt a lot,
I will continue to study until I enter university.

The lessons are great for both adults and children who want to learn and develop drawing and painting skills. In my experience it can be especially hard to find skills-based lessons for children, beyond crafts-based fixed-day courses. At Sunny Art the lesson times are flexible, meaning you don’t have to come on fixed days or times every week, and you / your child will be taught skills and techniques by very professional teachers who, in my experience, are always willing to go that extra mile to help. The admin staff have also always been helpful, friendly and flexible. It’s a safe environment for children and parents alike. Highly recommended.

I've tried painting courses and life drawing in other places around London, but Sunny Art Centre is the one I've chosen to stick with. Each tutor gives a different approach to painting, and it's really useful to have that diversity so that you can try different methods. I'll continue to attend classes at Sunny Art Centre, and would recommend it to anyone - whether you're a beginner or someone wanting to improve their skills!

I had a wonderful experience at Sunny Art Centre with amazingly talented, professional and friendly tutors. The work space is beautiful and I was made to feel very comfortable from the first lesson. Location was perfect for me in central London and I would definitely recommend to anyone. Don't forget to say hello to the adoreable cat and dog that might appear during your classes.

I just started an oil painting course and I had an exceptional experience. I was unable to attend my course for couple of months due to personal issues and the management gladly extended my course till the end of year. I found the workshop to be extremely informative. Tutor's knowledge and experience as an artist is limitless. I highly recommend this course/art centre for artists of all ages. The facilities are great, staff & management are very welcoming !

I stumbled across this gem on a walk through London. It is such an amazing, safe, kind and friendly atmosphere! The teacher really cares about you and wants the absolute best experience for you! It is clear that the art centre isn't about the money for him, but rather about the craft of art and how you (as a student) learn and grow! I have recommended all my friends here, and now we all attend the art classes. It is a great way to destress and relax after a long week at work!

It's truly a very inspiring place to start your art journey! The art courses they provide include all the fundamental principles of drawing and painting techniques! You will definitely learn a lot than you expected! And the course structure is very flexible, allowing me to choose my own suitable time to attend with personalized course structure and lots of attention from the art tutors, highly recommend!

I purchased a package of 40 classes at Sunny Art Centre and I’m so happy with the experience. As someone with no background in art who wants to take up painting as a hobby outside of work, I find SAC such a friendly place for beginners. The classes are small, the teachers are very attentive, customer service (Mario) is excellent. I also love the decoration and the cosy atmosphere of the studio. Their flexible schedule allows me to learn at my own pace and I’ll definitely stick with SAC for the long term as I progress with my learning. Overall 10/10.

I have had an excellent experience at the Sunny Art Centre. The vast wealth of artistic knowledge collected by the tutors here is both extremely interesting and inspiring. I feel that the information and skills I have gathered from the course I took are invaluable are things I will not forget as long as I paint. I am truly thankful to my friend for recommending me this course and I highly recommend others to try it too, whether you are already an experienced artist or not.

I bought a 20 class painting course for my mom and she absolutely loves it! Art teachers are very attentive and professional, they saw that it would be beneficial for my mom to start with some drawing first and then switch to painting when she was more ready. She is now half way through the course, she has improved a lot and these classes became the highlight of her week! Highly recommend it!

When I start to draw I thought I never can do it, but they told me everybody will get the good result and it really reveal me. Teachers are really good, beside teaching me, they always encourage me. That helps me a lot, now unbelievably I can draw nice. As they said everybody can see the result.

Definitely the worst experience I had. I booked a consultation for my 6 year old. The so called tutor was so rude! He didn’t know how to explain their teaching concept, what they’re teaching, and can’t explain anything about the so called customized solution to each individuals. Totally wasted my family’s time and unacceptably rude! Don’t go!

Such a cosy and creative environment and everyone at the centre is welcoming and doing their best to accommodate everyone's needs and levels. Mario is very helpful and quick in replying to any challenge I face during the courses. I was quite unease at first with my beginner level but after a couple of classes, as I started to get the hang of it, I reached the enjoyment level where I could relax a bit and go with the flow more. Lovely experience overall, a great way to put one's creative eye and mind to practice.
Thank you, guys!

I bought a package of 20 lessons after recommendation from a friend. My son enjoyed his first lesson but we found the booking system very confusing. The first lessons, it turned out I managed to book two lessons instead of one by mistake. The second time round, I tried a couple of times to book a lesson, but can not book in although i confirmed booking while I was on the booking page. But in the end, I did not get any email confirmation or text reminder. When I called in to check whether I booked in, the receptionist/teacher was very rude telling me “your name is not on the list... I have triple checked , stop asking me”. I am just finding the booking system very frustrating. Turns out that wasn’t the most frustrating.
Begged by my eager-to-draw son, I called in to book a later lesson at 6:30pm on the same day for my son and husband, although it would be very late for us to get back home. We were told over the phone that we were booked in.
However, when we arrived at 18:30, we were told to leave， note, this was not because we chose to leave in the first instance. By promising to give a refund for the booking today and all remaining 19 lessons, the teacher ( and owner) Mr Sun, said he does not like people leaving negative review online. He rather we leave the course. We felt completely humiliated by now.
It was a complete waste of time waiting around for the whole afternoon for the 4pm lesson then the 6:30pm lesson and then being turned away just because we reviewed them with what exactly happened. Obviously, customers like us who dare to review honestly were only left being shocked, irritated and humiliated....
Yes, another tutor did try to convince us to stay, but don’t you think it’s a bit too late when the owner asked us to leave just because we left honest feedback!?
By the way, when he asked me whether I left a feedback online, I did not feel he was trying to solve the problem. He was simply saying he did not like people leaning negative feedback online. Maybe he should consider finding a way to get his points across better?
You maybe very good artists, but certainly not helpful as a business and lacking basic courtesy on a personal level. You did email me to ask for a review after our first lesson ( they offer people 5% off if they leave a good review) , so here you go!
By the way, after several emails and reminders, there was still no response about refund they promised. We had to ask credit card provider to refund based on goods/ service not delivered... don listen to their refund promise. Pay by credit card when you can!

I have never attended any art courses like what sunny art centre offered, you can choose any dates to attend your courses with any of your favorite tutors. According to students’ skill level the tutors help each student to make a unique study plan so its completely personalized course. And end of lessons tutors also record each student’s study progress in the online system so if u changed your lesson into other tutors they will be able to know your study background.

I got a chance to attend the beginner’s drawing course at Sunny art centre as the art centre is just next to where I live, I absolutely love the art studio and the tutors. Tutors are all from the best art academies, such as Royal Academy School, Central Saint Martins, Royal College, and they are very patient and helpful. The course is based on individual tuition so I don’t need to worry that if I miss anything, and I can decide my own schedule to attend the lessons, which is very flexible and helpful! Great place to do art! Highly recommended!

I enrolled my 8-year-old daughter who loves art but needed to learn the correct techniques in order to really flourish. The teachers are all really patient and give her lots of tips and encouragement, so she loves to go as often as she's able. As a result her skills as an artist have come on in leaps and bounds. Highly recommended.

Sunny art centre is a great place where is suitable for people who wants to learn more about the art works and drawing even if you are a beginner. The quality of the art works in this gallery are really high standard and meaningful. The students there can do their works surround with so many gorgeous art works. Moreover, The tutors are all very professional with focusing on different students and give them suggestions to make their portfolio if they need. Each of the student can get assistant depend on their characteristic. I am one of the student of learning how to make the portfolio to apply the university. Thanks to the Sunny Art Centre, I am one of the student in the Central Saint Martins now. I regard Sunny Art Centre is a helpful place for anyone who wants to learn anything about art.

When I was looking for potential art schools in London, I was really hoping to find a place that would help me foster my skills in a warm and friendly environment. Well, to my great delight I was fortunate enough to find that in the Sunny Art Centre! There one can learn so many different techniques with a staff of knowledgeable, caring, and incredibly friendly teachers! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and it really helped me find my artistic groove, so to speak! And of course I would be completely remiss if I did not mention how sweet it is that they even have a resident cat and dog who both add to the already incredibly lovely atmosphere????????????????❤️ All in all, I 100% recommend Sunny Art Centre for anyone who ever wanted to take Art classes, as you will definitely be happy with your choice, this is truth !

It was such a wonderful experience to spend my time in London Sunny Art Centre, although it was a long way to travel from where I live, but it's just next to the Chancery Lane station, very central located. And I truest love the artworks display in the gallery, and they change the display every week, from the art space you can see not only paintings, sculptures, but also some exquisite fine jewelry display in the ground floor area. Learning art in such a artistic environment is truly wonderful! And thanks for all the tutors that had been treated me so patiently, indeed I have learned a lot in the past few weeks! I will definitely come back in the near future! Thanks again! ;)
