Wie die einzelnen Lektionen ablaufen werden
1. Art supplies
You can find a full list of tools and supplies needed for the course below.
For every course, we prepared packages of art supplies that are ready to be conveniently shipped right to your door. Using our years of experience, we assemble packages full of high-quality art supplies that include everything you’ll need to complete your course, at a very friendly price.
But of course, getting your own supplies is always an option, too.
Below you can find the list of supplies needed to complete the course.
2. Technical issues
You need a functioning computer with a stable internet connection to participate in online courses. A screen of at least 12” is recommended to make sure you can see all the details clearly. Don’t use a smartphone to watch the lessons – the screen size is too small to deliver the intended experience and lesson quality.
We will ask you to download a couple of free apps designed for comfortable online live lessons before the start of the course. Have no fear, all details and simple installation guides will be provided to make sure everyone can do it.
3. Live lessons in real time
Teachers use live online meetings to engage their small group of students, with lessons taking place once a week, on a same day and at the same time. The courses are designed for complete beginners and intermediate artists. Your teacher will create their own work step by step, at the same pace as the students, explaining, supporting, and helping the student along the way.
Every lesson starts with a short, interesting theoretical introduction. Then you will move on to small practical exercises and finally, you will be following in the teacher’s footsteps, creating your own beautiful artworks, little by little. You will do great, even if you are a complete beginner just starting to discover the world of art and creativity! Your teacher will take time to look at each students’ work multiple times during each lesson, offering guidance and advice.
All course times are in UK time (GMT).
4. Don't worry about missed lessons
It’s okay if you miss a lesson. They are recorded, and you can access the recordings on demand and simply catch up on the missed lesson whenever you want – they are available during the entire course and for several months afterwards. You will also get access to presentations and links to further resources.
5. How long is the course?
There are 8 lessons and a final bonus lesson at the end. Each lesson is 3 hours long.
Lessons take place once a week, on the day and at the time of the first lesson.
In total, you’ll get 27 hours of amazing interactive live lessons with the best teachers, as well as lesson recordings, tips, references to further reading, and other materials.
6. How much is it?
There are two options to choose from:
– Get the course in a bundle with a full package of art supplies
– Get the course only; you’ll have to get the supplies yourself
Course + supplies bundle: 370 £. The bundle comes with all art supplies needed for the course worth 100 £, and peace of mind for you.
Course without supplies: 320 £. We will give you a list of supplies that you will have to buy by yourself.
7. What else do I need?
To get the best experience, make sure you have enough space and a good light source (a desk lamp, at least), a desk, a chair, some paper tissues, and water to clean brushes.
As for the internet connection, one that can play YouTube videos well is more than enough. No special computer is needed – if it doesn’t lag too much during daily use, like web browsing or watching films online, you’re good to go! Last but not least, you will need a headset with a microphone to communicate with your teacher.

Häufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten
Wie funktioniert es?
Dies ist ein Online-Kurs, das heißt, der Unterricht findet aus der Ferne statt. Die Aufzeichnungen sind jederzeit aufrufbar.
Kann es passieren, dass ich eine Unterrichtsstunde verpasse?
Überhaupt nicht! Sie können Aufzeichnungen vergangener Unterrichtsstunden ansehen und den Anweisungen des Lehrers folgen, ohne etwas zu verpassen. Sie erhalten außerdem Zugriff auf Präsentationen und Links zu weiteren Ressourcen.
Was ist, wenn ich keine Kenntnisse habe?
Keine Sorge! Wir arbeiten mit vielen Studenten und Anfängerkünstlern ohne Vorkenntnisse zusammen, die genau das denken. Deshalb sind die Aufzeichnungen so gemacht, dass der Lehrer jeden Schritt zeigen kann. Wir möchten, dass Sie die Technik beherrschen, an der Sie gerade arbeiten, aber vor allem möchten wir, dass Sie Spaß haben und die Freude am kreativen Prozess und das Glück entdecken, das er bringen kann.
Was ist, wenn ich überhaupt kein Talent habe?
Unsinn, jeder Mensch ist talentiert, auch du! Weil Talent nichts Magisches ist; Es ist die Bereitschaft, der kreativen Tätigkeit nachzugehen, die einem Spaß macht, ohne aufzugeben. Schaffenskraft und Fleiß sind das wahre Geheimnis! Sie müssen sich keine Sorgen machen – unsere Kurse sind speziell für absolute Anfänger konzipiert, und schon bald werden Sie Ihre verborgenen Fähigkeiten und Ihr Potenzial entdecken, die wir verfeinern werden.
Wie viele Personen nehmen an einem Kurs teil?
Sie können sicher sein, dass immer genügend Platz vorhanden ist, weil der Kurs in Aufzeichnungen erstellt ist. Es gibt eine Option, Feedbacks von Ihrem Tutor zu erhalten. Während der Arbeit führt der Dozent mit Schritt-für-Schritt-Demonstrationen durch jedes Kunstwerk, sodass jeder in einem reibungslosen Tempo mithalten kann.
Ich war in der Kunst in der Schule schrecklich, also was soll das?
Da gibt es einen Punkt :) Unsere Lehrer verfolgen einen ganz anderen, positiven Ansatz, mit Kursplänen, die sowohl Theorie als auch Praxis abdecken, um sicherzustellen, dass jeder es kann. Und was am wichtigsten ist: Unsere Lehrer sind Profis, die Kunst von ganzem Herzen lieben, und sie möchten, dass auch Sie Kunst lieben, weshalb sie Sie dabei unterstützen, erstaunliche Ergebnisse zu erzielen!
Wie schnell muss meine Internetverbindung sein?
Wenn Sie YouTube-Videos oder Filme online ohne Probleme ansehen können, dann kann es losgehen :) Ihre Internetverbindung sollte für unsere Kurse geeignet sein.
Was ist, wenn ich nicht sehr technisch versiert bin?
Es gibt keinen Grund zur Sorge. Unsere Online-Kurs Interface ist wirklich einfach und sehr intuitiv. Und wenn Sie doch einmal auf Probleme stoßen, ist unser Support-Team immer bereit, einzuspringen und helfen.
Was ist, wenn ich nicht mithalten kann?
Der Lehrer arbeitet langsam, erklärt und demonstriert sorgfältig jeden Schritt, sodass Sie sich keine Sorgen machen müssen. Sie können sich die Aufzeichnungen früherer Lektionen jederzeit noch einmal ansehen und alles erledigen, was Sie brauchen.
Man muss schon in jungen Jahren etwas üben, um gut zu sein ...
Für Kreativität ist man nie zu alt! Alles, was Sie tun müssen, ist den ersten Schritt zu tun und in regelmäßige kreative Sitzungen mit unseren großartigen Lehrern einzutauchen. Sie werden überrascht sein, was Sie tun können! :) Unsere Kurse heißen Menschen jeden Alters willkommen; Es ist die kreative Leidenschaft, die uns zusammenbringt.
Was wäre, wenn alle anderen viel kompetenter wären als ich?
Unsere Kurse richten sich an absolute Anfänger ohne Vorkenntnisse. Unsere Lehrer gehen auf jeden Schritt langsam und schaffen den Kursplan so, dass alles einfach zu verstehen ist. Haben Sie also keine Angst, ins Hintertreffen zu geraten.
Was passiert, wenn ich nach der Lektion etwas noch einmal durchgehen muss?
Kursmaterialien sind immer verfügbar, und das Gleiche gilt für Unterrichtsaufzeichnungen – Sie können sie jederzeit ansehen, jetzt oder sogar einige Wochen später.
Ich muss eine Menge Vorräte besorgen...
Eigentlich nicht! Kaufen Sie einfach den Kurs im Paket mit den von uns vorbereiteten Materialien und tauchen Sie direkt in die kreative Welt ein, ohne alle Einkäufe selbst erledigen zu müssen. So einfach ist das!
Was passiert, wenn meine Internetverbindung ausfällt?
Alle Lektionen werden aufgezeichnet und Sie können sie jederzeit ansehen, sodass Sie sich keine Sorgen machen müssen, dass Sie etwas verpassen.
Wer sind die Tutors?
Unsere Lehrer sind die Besten! Sie sind nett, freundlich, kompetent, erfahren und, was am wichtigsten ist, sie lieben Kunst wirklich.
Bekommen wir Hausaufgaben und Noten?
Nein :) Der Kurs ist auf die vorgegebene Zeit ausgelegt. Wenn Sie außerhalb des Unterrichts selbstständig arbeiten möchten, haben wir eine Liste mit Ressourcen und Inspirationen für zusätzliche Arbeiten. Und erwarte keine Noten, denn wir sind keine Grundschule :) Unsere Lehrer begleiten dich immer Schritt für Schritt und geben dir Tipps und Tricks in einer freundlichen, entspannten Atmosphäre.
Was ist, wenn ich «all thumbs bin»?
Wenn du den Wunsch hast, zu malen, zu zeichnen oder irgendeine andere Art von Kunst zu schaffen, dann können dich alle Daumen der Welt nicht davon abhalten! Was bedeutet das eigentlich? Dass deine feinmotorischen Fähigkeiten nicht ausreichen? Das ist etwas, das man mit Übung verbessern kann. Dass Sie eine mentale Blockade aus der Kindheit haben? Wir können gemeinsam daran arbeiten, sie zu beseitigen. Dass Sie nicht genug Geduld haben? Das können Sie lernen. Und bei manchen Techniken ist die Präzision sowieso nicht so wichtig. Probieren Sie es einfach aus! Du wirst überrascht sein, wie viel du schon in der ersten Stunde erreichen kannst :)
Ich möchte keine langweiligen Übungen machen.
Deshalb ist der Spaß ein wichtiger Aspekt, den wir bei allen unseren Kursen im Blick haben! Wir versprechen Ihnen, dass Langeweile das Letzte ist, was Sie erwarten können. Wie könnte sich jemand langweilen, wenn es so viel zu erreichen und so schöne Dinge zu erschaffen gibt? Die Energie und die freundliche Einstellung unserer Lehrer machen den kreativen Prozess garantiert unterhaltsam und spannend!
Ich besitze bereits einige Vorräte. Kann ich nur das kaufen, was mir fehlt?
Derzeit verkaufen wir Vorräte nur in Paketen, aber unsere Preise sind sehr konkurrenzfähig, sodass es sich dennoch lohnen kann, das gesamte Paket von uns zu beziehen und es dann mit allem zu erweitern, was Sie in Zukunft benötigen.
