Drawing for beginners- The fundamentals and something more!

From 15 C$ /h

Drawing is a combination of freeing your mind, testing you determination and finding your own way of expression. Most importantly everybody can learn it. Of course you need to start from the basics if you want to understand it so this is a course in which I will teach you about composition, light, depth, colors and sketching and continue on with what you want to learn more about it.

Extra information

Bring whatever you have ever drawn and don’t be shy. And if you are a absolute beginner it’s even better, you’ll start fresh. I can provide you with materials for the first lesson so I can explain what is good and bad.

Do you want to learn how to draw like a professional? In our classes, we cover both the technical and the conceptual part of drawing. We are going to develop your first projects with constant feedback, and use creative exercises to ensure your progress and to keep your creativity flow.

Within certain period you will learn how to let your creativity to flow more loosely using different techniques of painting and drawing. We will experiment a lot, but also get to know the importance of art history. No matter what is your level, the most important element is to enjoy.
The idea is to free your imagination.

Everyone is a Master in Art if you love it, learn to know it, work on it.

A good art teacher helps you to discover which are your strengths in art, to believe in your abilities, to enjoy every moment of learning art and living happily, and you are soon being able to really doing art by yourself your way, independently, without a teacher!

As a professional visual artist, whose whole family members are artists too, I do understand how easy art can be actually, and I would like to share with you that secret. As an art teacher for adults and children, my 28 years experience in teaching would surely meet your expectations for art.

Drawing, sketching, painting, illustrating, collage, sculpturing, carving, crafting, ect., with a bit of the world art history knowledge, what ever you want. For hobby or for exam training, both are possible. Just call my name, I’ll be right there for you.

Painting works as a different kind of language for kids. In an art lesson, a child learns (according to their age and character) how to use this language better, to express themselves more precisely. Many kids are hiding a great artist inside them, but art lessons are not just for gifted kids. And, although there are many great artists who got inspired by children's drawing, the goal is not to train children as an artists, but help them become more aware of the means of expression that are in their disposal , which will later make them more balanced adults, who are aware of the way art narrates the history of our world.
This is achieved by familiarizing kids with a variety of techniques and artists. Since the lessons are private, there can be a lot of flexibility with that.

Drawing is a foundational skill for practicing art. I've designed this course to assist you in acquiring the foundations of drawing up to your desired level. My area of specialization is portraiture so of course we can dive as deeply into this as you'd like.

Dear parents,

Are you seeking an enriching and transformative experience for your children?
Look no further! My name is Shivangi, a gifted designer with a rich art and fashion background, who is now eager to share the joy of drawing, sketching, and painting with your children.

Under my guidance, your child will embark on an artistic adventure like no other. My art classes are thoughtfully curated to inspire and encourage creativity while having tons of fun along the way!

Let's embark on a colorful and imaginative journey together, where your child's creativity knows no bounds!

Hello,

I am an artist with more than 20 years of experience. Lat 10 years I was working with children of different ages, but also had evening classes, where we could enjoy painting, good chat and wine. At the moment I teach small groups of maximum 5, or private lessons.

Happy to meet you and show you the world of art trough my eyes.

You will learn techniques for acrylic painting, color blending, basic of drawing mandalas. For children from age 4 to 6 it will be more introduction to colors and being familiar with different painting and drawing tools. It is also possible for older children for having this introduction.

Are you looking to improve your drawing skills or you don't even know where to start but you dream of an art career? Or perhaps you have entrance exams coming up for art school or architecture studies and you want to ensure you will pass?
This is an individual course design depending on your request and your starting level. Each course includes lessons filled with instruction information, practice time and homework assignment. You can begin with Level 1 and continue further or choose to start on a specific level.

Level 1 - This course is an absolute beginner level. You can hold a pencil and a brush but the starting is so stressful and confusing. You're scared of making a mistake, you don't know where to begin, you're getting lost when it comes to composition or shading whenever you start to draw. I GOT YOU! Those are very common feelings when you start to draw and it can be discouraging, give you a feeling of being stuck or just very dissatisfied with your art.

In this course I will guide you through basic traditional art techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. We will be studying composition, forms, shapes, structure and texture of different objects such as fabric, furniture, animal fur, plants etc. I’ll show you how to achieve depth in your shading, how to understand light, and the effect of fragility of plants or hardship and reflection of metal. I’ll teach you observation, things to look for in the drawing, but most of all I'll give you tools for future independent learning that will save you tons of time while figuring on your own!
The key to success is your motivation and time you will dedicate to your homework practice.

Level 2 - This course is directed towards people who have some basic understanding of traditional art media techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. Your art is currently your hobby, but you would like to change it into a career? Know more about art as a business model, get insights into career tips and opportunities. Or do you want to improve your sketching skills, learn to digitise your work, create digital illustrations in Procreate, or combine it all in your own unique way?

Level 3 - Advanced. It will focus on your specific desire as an artist and adjust to your skills and technique preferences. During the first introduction skills, I’ll provide some exercises to see how you work and together we will find the way we can work and improve.

Art Courses are a playful, hands-on after-school art workshop for children ages 7 and up (and curious teens or adults too!), where creativity, self-expression, and teamwork come together. In small groups, participants explore painting, drawing, sketching, and crafting with a wide variety of materials—like acrylics, pastels, pencils, collage, and mixed media. Each session offers something new: from experimenting with techniques to working together on imaginative projects that encourage collaboration and confidence. The workshops are based in Rotterdam, but I’m also available to travel to Den Haag and Delft, depending on interest. Classes can be held at you own personal space, making it flexible and accessible. For those who want to continue their creative journey, there’s an optional subscription that includes regular sessions and access to special themed workshops. No experience needed—just a love for making and exploring!

<<<<Welcome to Inua Art Atelier – A Real Studio Experience>>>>
“A creative learning space rooted in professional atelier training — where you’ll grow your artistic skills, try diverse techniques, and enjoy the freedom to explore like a true artist.”

👋 Who I am?
My name is Shuchen — I’m a trained visual artist from China and France, now based in Delft.
In these workshops, I share the creative learning style I grew up with: each session explores a new material, technique, or concept — just like in a professional art atelier.

🌟 Why to join?
- Grow your skills and explore different styles.
- Learn how a real artist be trained.
- Meet mind-liked people ignite the local art community

Join any week — each session is independent, but connects to a bigger journey.

✨ Workshop Details:
When: Every Wednesday, 19:00–22:00 (2hours guidance +1hour self drawing time )
Small Group: Max 8 people for personalised attention.

🎨 Not just a workshop — a creative journey.
Each week we explore a new topic or technique — from line drawing, sketch to painting. Get to know materials: pencil, charcoal, acrylic, oil painting, Chinese ink. Dive in to various styles: Impressionism, Fauvism and Surrealism — just like in real art school.
Every session is beginner-friendly and independent, so you can join anytime. It’s perfect if you want more than a one-time experience — and want to grow real skills over time.

Most short workshops focus on just one thing — plant, portrait or landscape. But real artists learn to see and understand the principles. So that you can find your own way to create.
In my workshops, we go deeper and learn the grammer of visual art: exploring value, color theory, composition and creativity through many styles.
Think of it like an art school evening — but cozy, flexible, and beginner-friendly.

👩‍🎨My teaching method:
I’m an art teacher with my own atelier, and I also teach at a local art centre. I run creative workshops for both kids and adults from all kinds of backgrounds. I love designing classes that mix hands-on technique with Art history.
I’m really enjoying guiding people discover their own expression in art.
My approach tend to be student-focused which also shaped by my international background. For me, it is important creating a welcoming space where people feel free and inspired to explore. Whether someone’s picking up a brush for the first time or coming back to art after years, I’m there to encourage them.

Let’s spend this summer growing your skills, one brushstroke at a time. See you at the studio!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.
