from age 3 — and no upper limit!
Drawing lessons for kids, online
Private one-to-one drawing lessons on Google Meet. Younger students get more drawing and less theory, lots of encouragement, and something they're proud to hold up to the camera at the end.
How I teach kids to draw
Kids are a big part of my week, and I know what keeps young artists excited. We keep the wild ideas — and add the skills that bring them out.
Their ideas first
Robots, dragons, their cat, a whole invented city — we draw what your child actually wants to draw.
Real skills, gently
Shapes, proportion, perspective, shading and colour, introduced through their own pictures, not drills.
Lots of encouragement
Drawing is treated as play, not an exam. Every lesson ends with something they're proud of.
Parents welcome
You can sit in on the first lesson — or every lesson. Siblings and grandparents can draw along too.

Joey, 8 — big imagination, real skills
Joey draws whole worlds: a city guarded by robots, faces taken apart Picasso-style, pencils and erasers that come to life. In our lessons we keep the wild ideas — and add perspective, shading and colour to bring them out.

Kids' drawing lessons — parents' questions
What age do you teach?
Children from age 3 — and there's no upper limit. Younger students get more drawing and less theory.
Can I sit in on the lesson?
Yes. Parents can sit in on the first lesson, or on every lesson if you prefer. Family members are welcome to draw along.
How do online lessons work for kids?
One-to-one on Google Meet, 50 minutes. I draw on screen next to your child, they draw along, and they hold their picture up to the camera so I can help. Nothing to install — you just click the link.
What materials does my child need?
Pencils and paper are enough to start. Once I know what your child likes to draw, I'll tell you exactly what's worth buying.
What if it's not a good fit?
Then don't book a second lesson, and I'll refund the demo.
