Frequently Asked Questions: Drawing and Painting

1. I have never painted or drawn, can I start from scratch?

Absolutely yes! We have a specific program designed for people who have never picked up a brush or pencil. Learning correctly from the base is the best way to advance quickly and avoid technical vices. You don’t need experience, just the desire to start.

The only way not to advance in painting is not to decide to take the first brush stroke.

 

2. I have painted on my own, how do I know what my level is?

In the workshop we do not work with watertight levels. The teacher observes your technique and knowledge from day one and proposes a learning process designed exclusively for you. We accompany you from wherever you are so that you continue to evolve at your own pace.

 

3. What materials do I have to bring to class?

The teachers will tell you what specific materials you need depending on the technique you want to develop. But don’t worry: you’ll start little by little. You will be surprised how simple the basic equipment is to start your training. These materials are not included in the tuition and/or monthly fees.

 

4. Can I buy the materials in the workshop?

Yes, we offer “Materials Packages” specific for the painting course. The advantage is that you save time and are sure that they are the correct and quality materials, avoiding the confusion generated by the wide variety of brands on the market. Of course, you also have the freedom to buy them wherever you prefer.

 

5. Can I leave my materials in the studio?

Yes. Most students prefer to leave their material in the workshop so as not to carry it with them and, above all, to avoid forgetting it at home on the day of class.

 

6. Is healthy paint used in the workshop?

For us, your health comes first. We select paints that have the ACMI certification (AP Seal). This means that they are toxicologically evaluated products that do not release harmful substances for you or the environment. Nurture your art with safe materials.

 

7. Can I join if the month has already started?

Of course. Any time of the year is perfect to start. If you join after the first class of the month, the fee will be adjusted proportionally to the number of sessions you attend in that starting month.

 

8. Can classes be made up if I miss a day?

Yes, as long as the class is cancelled in advance. We have a system for managing absences and make-ups so you don’t lose your learning rythm due to unforeseen circumstances. Any class cancelled on time will be saved so you can make it up another day within the available schedule for each activity.

 

9. Do you do activities outside the studio?

As part of our annual activity, we usually schedule visits to museums or exhibitions. We come with our notebooks to generate dialogue about the works and enjoy the artistic experience in community.
