Questions, answered
The course is designed for children ages 7–16. Younger learners in this range may need a parent or caregiver to sit alongside and help with setup. Older children can generally follow along independently. Adult beginners are welcome too - the unhurried pace and foundational approach suit anyone picking up watercolours for the first time.
No experience is needed at all. The course starts from the very first step - how to hold a brush, how to wet the paper, what watercolour paints do. Every project is designed to feel achievable and enjoyable right from the first session.
This is a recorded course (not live, not one-to-one, and not a group discussion). Your child learns through recorded HD lesson videos at your family’s own pace - pause, rewind, and revisit any project anytime.
