Heidi Broad
QEST Scholar
Fine Art
Heidi Broad’s ambition is to become a professional realist painter and in time a leading British artist collaborating with other contemporary artists and exhibiting at Biennales worldwide.
In 2016, she was offered a place at The Florence Academy of Art, one of the most prestigious schools in Europe, but did not have the financial backing to accept. QEST has removed this barrier and Heidi will soon begin the curriculum with measurement, proportion and shadow shape.
“A distinguishing characteristic is that all students must work from life under natural north light in the tradition of the masters and learn to translate in a way that is both anatomically accurate and artistically beautiful. I’m sure this will give me great confidence in front of every blank canvas.”
