Flexible online learning to inspire you to create

Teaching children and adults how to draw and paint what is in their minds onto paper (without being told to just draw or paint)

We use a format based from the impressionist principles (Leonardo da Vinci/Michelangelo/ john singer Sargent) Email us at [email protected] for information on other courses - The techniques we use is to develop the hand, motor and eye co-ordination (connect all three to enhance the approach to drawing projects in proportion) - You will learn the foundation and techniques (example - if we draw a 'teddy bear' - we learn why, and how this can be used in future projects like drawing grass, hair, landscapes, animal etc) Flexible memberships and themes adapting to your personal likes - Personalised projects and themes (as everyone has their own likes from dragons, cars to fairies) - The foundation skills teach the approach which is never mentioned, how to be the innovator in the career you eventually choose. - Generally you start to see results after 6 - 12 months, depending on age and learning approaches adapted to you individually. Justine has been teaching children and adults for over 23 years. She believed that children are awakened geniuses that can learn how to draw. She developed a unique program to teach how to draw and paint
