Of course! We welcome anyone with any amount of art experiences from beginner to intermediate to advanced to our art classes!
For a beginner, we recommend you our Art Immersion course (12 sessions /24 sessions /48 sessions) as it provides you the flexibility to switch between the various Art mediums that you might be interested in (ie. you could kickstart the course with Drawing and Sketching before switching to Watercolour Painting as the course progresses). This course provides you the platform to be exposed to the various mediums of Art, enabling you to understand and grasp the basic techniques of each Art medium, which may prove useful to you should you decide to venture into a specific aspect of Art in the future!
We propose that you dedicate all sessions to that sole medium until you are well acquainted with it. Feel free to consider our 24-session and 48-session courses as well as our proficient and patient instructors guide you along this journey. Additionally, should you wish to improve your hand or gain mastery in a particular medium of Art, we highly recommend you to consider taking up our 1-to-1 lessons!
Lastly, our teachers will assess your skill level and tailor each lessons accordingly to aid you in your techniques. Rest assured that you will be in good hands!
We recommend our students to attend an Art session at least once a week for a period of 6 months to 1 year to reach an intermediate level in a particular Art medium.
Students are also advised to extend their packages should they want to reach an advanced level in a particular medium. You can just inform one of our friendly Art assistant about the package you are interested in and we will sign you right up!
We are pleased to inform you that you are not required to bring ANYTHING to our art studio!

Hence, be rest assured that you need not fork our an additional sum to reimburse the art materials required. Kindly note that aprons are provided for those who are painting.
