Frequently Asked Questions

I can't draw at all. I've always thought I'm not gifted. No talent. Should I take the course?

Even if you think you have no talent and have never drawn before, the course will be beneficial for you. It's important to remember that talent is something everyone is born with. Drawing is a skill that can be developed and improved through practice and education.

The course is designed with different levels of preparation in mind, including beginners.

How long will it take to learn to draw beautifully in watercolor?

If you have a plan without feedback, it will depend on your personal pace at which you go through the lessons.

With plans that include feedback, we actively progress through the lessons over two months from the moment you «unfreeze» the course.

In general, I recommend taking the course at a leisurely pace. Enjoy the process more.

I'm 67 years old, will I be able to learn to draw such illustrations in the course?: It is never too late to learn to draw. In our school, 30% of students are over 50 years old. And they enjoy drawing, developing their skills, creative thinking, and rejuvenating their spirit and mind!

How is feedback organized for my drawing?

At the end of the lesson, you will post a photo of your work. The instructor will have the opportunity to leave a text, graphic (notes on the drawing), and an audio comment on your work.

At the bottom of each lesson, there will be a comment block where you can ask any questions about the training.
