Overview
A structured and progressive online art course with all the materials you need to learn to draw and paint. We're excited for you to start. The Little Art School online drawing and painting course takes a beginner from drawing simple shapes to completing complex portraits in oils. All the art materials you require are included in the course cost and delivered to your door.
Each level is divided into three terms; each term has ten progressive lessons each, for a total of thirty online art lessons. Our structured art course is designed to introduce you to new styles and techniques as you progress through the lessons.
* Term One - The Absolute Basics: Focus on shapes in drawing and painting. You learn drawing skills, starting with pencil handling and progressing to more advanced sketching. Our curriculum works exclusively with watercolour paints, introducing fundamental skills and developing various painting techniques.
* Term Two - A Focus on Tone: You learn the importance of observing darks and lights, starting with monochrome and progressing to colour. During this term, you use gouache paint, an opaque watercolour popular among our artists. You focus on developing your drawing skills, particularly shading and identifying tones in drawings.
* Term Three - Colour Theory: You will work with highly versatile acrylic paints. In this term, you will build on the skills learned in shape and tone while exploring complementary colour theory. Weekly sketching exercises will further develop your drawing skills, complementing the painting techniques you've learnt.
