The supplies we will be using in this class are not mandatory. Feel free to replace them with any available art supplies you own.

Before gathering your materials, I encourage you to review lessons 1-4 and choose a few tools that resonate with you. There’s no need to purchase every item—just focus on the colors you love and tools you’re excited to try. Start by experimenting with a small selection, and as you gain confidence, you can explore adding more to your collection. The key is to enjoy the process and discover which materials suit your creative style.

This course is designed specifically for beginners, but it all depends on what you're looking to learn. It’s not a drawing-focused class where we dive deep into sketching specific subjects. (For that, I offer other classes and workshops on topics like urban sketching, illustrating people, and floral patterns!)

Yes! We currently offer auto-generated subtitles in English, and Spanish. While these may include minor grammar hiccups, they’re meant to help support your learning experience. More languages are coming soon! Feel free to suggest one by emailing us at hello@dearelaine.co.

Absolutely! Watch the lessons as quickly or as slowly as you like and complete the assignments according to your own schedule.

Yes! The class is available on your account as long as the internet continues to exist. Unlimited lifetime access.

The duration of each lesson varies, ranging from 7 to 25 minutes. They are sped up certain sections to ensure a smooth flow for the class. Each lesson includes teaching content and assignment for the student. A 90 min zoom Q&A (exclusive to students who register during the month of class release) will be recorded and edited for students to watch.

My art classes feature over 6 pre-recorded art lessons available for a single, affordable payment, making it accessible for everyone to join.

There is no end date for this class. They are pre-recorded lessons that will always be available. However the special live Q&A Zoom session is only be available for students who sign up during the launch month. It will be recorded for the rest of the students.

Although this class is geared toward and teaches with traditional mediums. 

You can use a gouache paint brush (Adobe has those sets) and a colored pencil like brush (like the Shale brush on procreate) to mimic the outcome of the art lessons.

I think it depends on how well you can adapt these lesson into your preferred medium - but the concepts are definitely transferrable.
