Q: What can I expect to learn?

We will explore a wide variety of themes like birds, animals, flowers, food, landscapes and learn to illustrate a host of subjects pertaining to these themes in different styles. At Art Every Week, we take up a theme for an entire month and in the four classes during that month we illustrate various topics/subjects pertaining to that theme.

For Example: If the topic for a month is Food Art – we may illustrate ice-creams in one class, biscuits and cookies in another, fruits in the third and fast food in the fourth.

Q: What materials will I use?

Most months we use watercolour. However from time to time we explore other art media too, such as pencils (for pencil shading), colour pencils, pens, brush pens and even poster colours.

Q: What is the age limit for kids and adults?

There is a certain degree of fine motor skill needed for learning watercolour and so the lower age limit recommended for the kids batch is 8 years. By this age, children have usually developed a comfortable pencil grip and can progress slowly to a brush. The upper limit for the kids batch is 13 years but this is really just a guideline. The recommended lower age limit for the adults class is 14 years. The key difference between the kids and adults class is the class duration. The kids class is only 1 hour long bearing in mind the attention span of children under 13. The adults batch on the other hand, is 1.5 hours long as adults tend to have a longer attention span and may work a little slower than children do. Another reason for a separate adults batch is because older adults may be a little conscious about learning alongside young children, especially those new to art and unsure of sharing their work with the class as a whole. In the adults batch, since all students are older, it may be easier for one to share one’s work and participate in meaningful discussions.

Q: Is online learning effective?

Q: How can I expect feedback?

You can share your work on the class group or one-on-one, for feedback and clarification of questions.

Q: What does class size look like?

At a minimum we need atleast 3 students for a batch to be set-up and not more than 8 total students per batch.

Q: What if I am a complete beginner and want to join right away, do I have to wait for a new batch to join Art Every Week?

This is a dilemma that has a well-oiled fix already in place. Many of our current students have joined Art Every Week at different points in the year where no new batch was set-up. The solution is an Introductory Module that you can purchase and complete before integrating seamlessly into the existing batches at the start of any month.
In the Introductory Module, you will be given access to a set of 4 class recordings where the Basics of Watercolour, Techniques and Colour Theory are explained and demonstrated. You can take your time to watch these recordings and paint along with it. Once you have completed the exercises covered in these 4 class recordings, you can share your work with me and I will set up a one-on-one zoom call to provide feedback on your work and (where required) re-demonstrate aspects that are not well understood or address queries and concerns. This zoom call allows me to understand how much of the basics you have understood and whether you are ready to join the existing batches.

After that you join the batch of your choice and fit right in with the class.

This means you can start Art Every Week, ANYTIME you want to.

But I have never painted before…

…and there’s no better reason to start right away. Making art is truly therapeutic. You have to try it, to know it.
