**Has it been a while since you've picked up a pencil? Do you want to learn to draw?**


Then you need to join our online class with a welcoming community and a brilliant teacher.


Don't worry, these classes are beginner friendly with the aim to make you remember how fun and therapeutic drawing can be. 


**What To Expect?**
Each week we'll be experimenting with different techniques, and different things to draw. Some weeks will feel hard, some will feel easy but you’ll be amazed at what you can do. 


From still life to life drawing, we like to play around, try different things and push your limits occasionally.


Expect people to be chatting, and supporting each other because our community is at the heart of the class and we welcome anyone who wants to join! Or if you want to sit and draw quietly, you can switch your camera off and we’ll respect your mindful time as you listen to the chitter chatter of our students.


**What's Included?**
* A ticket for online class
* Class duration : 1:15
* A live tutor to help guide you


**What If I’m Shit At Drawing?**
Then you should have signed up 10 minutes ago! Trust me, everyone can draw, you’ve just never been shown how. These classes are beginner friendly and super inclusive so you’ll feel right at home (even if you’re s******g a brick slightly about being the ‘newbie’).

- 2B, 2H, 8B pencil
- Eraser
- Ruler

Susan

China was a very lovely tutor. She was very inclusive and made me feel really good even though I haven't really drawn before! I was really pleased with my artwork and I can't wait to join another class. Thank's so much China.

Joey

I learnt that you don't have to be an artist to enjoy drawing. I have tried drawing throughout my life and even though I haven't got much better, I am always drawn (excuse the pun) back to it. Drawing is very important for me to be able to express myself and relax and China's classes really help me to do that. She is really easy to get along with and very encouraging. She shows us tips and tricks along the way and I am always amazed by my work at the end of it. Would highly recommend!

Claire

I LOVE THIS CLASS!
These classes are always full of lovely people and China make's it really easy for you to feel like you are a part of something. I could not recommend this class enough.

Peter

I have been drawing for a while and I didn't think I would get the same experience online as I would in person but China has made it really easy for this to work. She sometimes shares the screen or shows a demonstration of her drawing so you can still see how it is done. Excellent. Well done China, Thanks for the classes.

Heather

I love drawing, and I love China as a tutor. She is engaging supportive and makes everyone feel welcome. Thanks for all the lessons and great conversation!

Georgie

This is the best online drawing class I have been to .. and trust me, I have been to alot! Thank's so much. Can't wait for more.

Tessa Francis

This class was so much fun. Lots of great convo and actually learnt about drawing better perspective. China is a lovely teacher and extremely sunny personality - very refreshing way to spend lockdown :)

Learn to draw anything and everything with ArtistAnd as we explore different topics, subjects and theory each week. No lesson is the same!

 **Rewards**

**FAQ’S?**
1.How do I choose the right brush for my painting?
The right brush depends on the type of painting you are creating. For larger washes, use a larger square brush, and for fine details, use a smaller brush. Round brushes are a good all-purpose choice for watercolour painting. See pictures for examples.

2. Can I use watercolours on any type of paper?
It's best to use watercolour paper, which is specially designed to absorb and hold watercolour paint. Regular paper may not hold up well to the wetness, cause abrasive rubbing and warp the paper.

3. Will you provide materials?
Materials won’t be provided for this class. Please provide your own materials. Just remember, the cheaper the palette, the lesser quality it maybe. Just like buying wine at a restaurant, always go for at least the second cheapest one.

4. What colours will I need before the lesson?
We can work with any colour palettes, there's always a way! This class aims to be accessible as much as possible so if you really are worried, send me a picture before of what you've got.

5. What if I need to cancel?
That’s ok! Sometimes these things happen so we try our best to accommodate you.

Whose It For?
If you want to learn to shade like a boss then you need this book in your life. If you like colouring books or just doing something with your hands then you'll bloody love this! It teaches you how to shade without even knowing it and you don't need to study or go to art school.
 
What's Inside?
In side the book you have exercises and illustrations to help you build confidence in your shading and get you ready for shading in the big boys and make them look 3D. It's gonna be so satisfying.
 
As an artist, the most fun part of any drawing is the shading. The outlines can be quite stressful so I've done them all for you. I've even colour coded the shades so you just need to match them with your pencils (you can add them to the book if you don't have any at home).
 
Finally...
This is the first edition and hopefully one of many. It was self published so you may find the odd error but hopefully you can see past the any grammatical mistakes. 
 
I'm so excited to share this with you so if you have any feedback do let me know.

Mindful Shading Book

Just like a colour book, but with a pencil instead! This mindful shading book will help you relax and accidentally get better at shading.

This drawing kit comes with a full video to help you use your tools and understand what they and you can achieve.

Using a ruler to create a grid, we will show you step-by-step how to draw your own masterpiece, in the hope to inspire you to fill your sketchbook with more amazing atworks.

This drawing kit contains everything you need to start or continue your drawing practise.

Included:

- Professional hardcover, casebound sketchbook - A5 - 46 pages - acidfree - 170gsm (which means it's good quality paper and can take a bit of water without major buckling.)

- Pencils - HB, 2B, 2H, 6B (Everything you need to create dynamic drawings)

- Professional putty rubber (so you can fix your drawings in small precise areas, and it's even got its own little case to keep it safe.)

Sketchbook

The sketchbook is really high quality and made from recycled material, but if you ask me,  you can't even notice! The paper is slightly thicker than printing paper which means you can draw on it whilst still keeping a smooth texture. You can also progress onto water-based paints if you so wished. This is perfect if you want to take your sketchbook on your travels with you and create some landscapes. With its hardback case, and thick structure, you'll be sure that your drawings will be protected from any wear and tear.

Pencils 

These have been hand-selected to ensure that you have all the pencils you need to make your drawings dynamic and detailed. We decided to cut out the middle man in the packs of a million pencils because quite frankly, you can do pretty much anything with these four. In our video demonstrations you will find that we only use 2H, 2B, 6/8B so the HB is a little bonus for you.

Putty Rubber

This putty rubber is not your average eraser. This comes in its own case to keep it clean and safe as it is much softer than any other rubber. Use this like playdough to twist into little points to remove the smallest areas of pencil so you don't remove the whole thing! We LOVE these.

Drawing Kit & Video Demonstration Online

Start your drawing journey with this specially design drawing kit & instruction video.

If you are the kind of person that loves art but might be a little nervous when it comes to getting your hands dirty, this could be the perfect solution for you.  Have you ever seen artists at their easel and wondered what it was like to be in their shoes? Well now, you can do just that with this online video guide.
 
Welcome to ArtistAnd’s painting masterclass where you can learn how to paint like the incredible Vincent Van Gogh. Explore how to recreate his style and technique with your very own Artist led instruction. No matter where you are in your creative journey, this workshop is designed to help get everyone to the same level, from beginners, to regular art dabblers. 

We will explore the different types of brushstrokes, the use of colour, and the detail in which he painted. Vincent was a true genius when it comes to painting and when you create your own version, you will be able to feel first hand, what it takes to create a master piece.

Each artist will receive:
* Paint
* 1 x Premium Canvas
* 2 x Brushes
* 1 x Mixing Palette
* 1 x Pencil
* Online tuition and guidance

Throughout this virtual experience you will be guided by the artist and you will see the master at work on the video demonstration. You can pause at any time, and create your work in your own speed.

The demo can  be viewed at any point and if you are a beginner, you can paint privately so you don't feel nervous about having an audience.

Best of luck! You've got this! :)

Paint Like Van Gogh - At Home Art Kit

Learn to paint like the amazing Vincent Van Gogh with this posted painting kit and online video demonstration with London based artist.

ArtistAnd aims to offer an environment where painting and drawing can become an inclusive exercise for all. Through traditional teaching methods and classical training, each ArtistAnd will develop and progress from all levels. 

The classes are aimed at all levels so whether you are an amateur or professional, you can never stop learning. 

We like to challenge what the eye sees and what the brain perceives as real. With this new way of looking, each ArtistAnd will be able to draw and paint anything they can imagine. With the fundamental tools of realism behind them, they are then encouraged to go off and explore the eyes with this new language and to tell their stories in their own way.
