What James is offering will not be a typical internship. It is designed for those seriously interested in a career in painting within the sort of traditional style that you see in his work.
James produces his oil paintings using traditional methods and materials. The 'young artists' will assist James in his work giving them the opportunity to learn and practice these techniques. They will also gain valuable experience of marketing, exhibiting and selling artwork. James will assist them setting up as self employed sole traders, helping them to manage their cash flows and accounts until they understand what it means to be self reliant as a small business.
There is a small fee that covers all costs. But fees will be available to the Young Artists for the pieces of James' painting that they contribute towards. They will also be building a sellable portfolio and earning from commissions that they will be actively pursuing during their stay. In short, they should cover their costs.
James currently has both residential and non-residential placements available for 18-21 year olds for a working period commencing November 2012. This working period runs for a minimum of a year: November to September, and acceptance is on the strength of a portfolio and performance in a study week.
