Frequently Asked Questions

I offer art sessions for a wide range of ages, from the little ones aged 3 up to teenagers. For our online classes, I recommend that students be at least 5 years old so they can easily follow the virtual instructions.

Children adapt wonderfully to the online format! While I design my lessons to encourage independence, younger students might occasionally need a little help from a parent with camera angles or setting up materials. Most children become confident, independent artists very quickly.

I use a structured but fun curriculum tailored to your child’s developmental stage:

Little Tots: Focusing on motor skills, sitting and concentrating, drawing straight lines, and colouring within shapes.

Beginners (usually up to age 6): Focusing on pencil drawing and mastering crayons.

Intermediate (usually age 7+): Exploring shading, proportions, and new mediums like oil pastels, watercolours, and acrylics. (Many younger students progress to this level early!)

Advanced: Focusing on complex compositions, perspective, and helping students develop their own unique artistic voice.

I keep my groups small—usually 5 to 8 students—so I can provide plenty of individual attention. Because every child is unique, I teach them individually based on their specific skill level and age, meaning students in the same group may be working on different projects.

For our regular weekly classes (both in-person and online), students bring their own "Art Kit." This typically includes a sketchbook, pencils, erasers, crayons, oil pastels, watercolours, acrylics, and brushes. I will provide a specific list tailored to your child’s level.

Note: For special craft sessions or experiments with new techniques, I often provide additional materials.

For your first trial class, just bring any drawing book, a pencil, an eraser, and some crayons (Crayola is a great choice). After the session, I’ll recommend the best materials for your child to move forward with.

Life happens! For our regular weekly sessions, I only charge for the classes you actually attend. I just ask that you kindly give me at least 24 hours' notice if you cannot make it.

Yes! I hold classes on Sunday mornings. Please take a look at the schedule on this page for exact timings.

My classes are a "pressure-free zone." I don't offer formal certifications or prepare for competitions. My goal is to foster a genuine love for art and build your child's creativity without the stress of being graded or judged. We focus on the joy of creating, not just the final performance.
