Frequently Asked Questions about the Watercolor Painting Course

1Do I need any prior knowledge to enroll in the painting course?
No! No prior painting knowledge is required. Just a willingness to learn how to paint!
2I also have no talent for drawing! Could that be an obstacle?
Not at all! That’s actually great! The fewer limitations, the better! Many students believe that drawing skills are necessary and that it's an innate talent possessed by a few lucky people. But in reality, that's not the case! Throughout the course, you will learn techniques and tricks to improve your drawing skills.
3I already paint but would like to refine my technique or focus on a specific theme. Does it make sense for me to enroll?
Certainly! Based on your knowledge and goals, you will be placed in an appropriate level (e.g., intermediate). The course is structured with various levels, so you will be integrated according to your experience and objectives!
4How do I get started? Do I need to bring any materials to the first class?
No! Leave that first part to us! Just bring some clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
