About Beginner Short-Term Courses
The most common worry students have is, 'what supplies do I need?' You do not need to buy a single brush or canvas before starting. We provide everything in the studio, from professional-grade paints to protective gear. You also get all three of your finished projects framed, so they are ready to hang the moment you take them home.
How Our 8-Week Courses Work
We keep our batch sizes small, usually between 6 to 10 students. This isn't a lecture hall where you just watch; it is a studio where you do. Whether you choose sketching, watercolors, oil painting, or acrylics, the curriculum is paced so you are never rushed. We start with the basics—brush control, color mixing, and understanding how your medium behaves—before moving into your specific projects.
Why Choose Our Studio
Art Beat is located in the heart of HSR Layout, designed to be a quiet, creative escape from the city. You don't need any prior experience to join. We have students ranging from busy tech professionals looking to de-stress, to people who haven't picked up a pencil since school.
Your Creative Outcome
By the end of the 8 weeks, you will have completed three finished artworks. We teach you the techniques required to execute these pieces so that you feel confident enough to continue painting at home. We also handle the framing for all three pieces, ensuring they look professional and are ready for display.
