Help your child draw like a real artist

- Complete artworks for a first portfolio
- Lifetime access
For children who love drawing and want to get better
If your child loves drawing and wants to improve, this subscription is what they need. It includes lessons in various techniques and genres — pastel, watercolour, pencils — so every child finds something that appeals.
The lessons cover a wide range of non-standard topics to keep learning engaging and fun, and the theory is taught through assignments rather than lectures.
Your child will create pieces that can become part of their first portfolio.
How the lessons work
Lessons are grouped by technique — watercolour, pastel, pencils and portraits, fashion illustration — and each lesson produces a finished artwork. Your child watches the lesson, pauses to work on each stage and compares with the reference at the end.
Theory is woven into the assignments: composition, proportion, light and colour appear when they are needed for the picture, not as separate lectures. Topics are deliberately non-standard to keep interest high.
A lesson takes 40–60 minutes of drawing time. One or two a week is a good rhythm; the material list for each block is short and inexpensive.
What your child will learn
- Draw in a more advanced, adult-like manner
- Work with references
- Master several techniques
- Create complete artworks
- Grasp theory through engaging assignments

Your first steps
You start with “Watercolour”. It covers: Materials and washes; Landscapes with light and depth. Nothing in it assumes knowledge from later parts of the course, so you can begin the day you enrol.
By the end of that first part you will already have done something concrete rather than only watched — and you will know whether the pace suits you. If it does not, the 14-day guarantee means you lose nothing.

Is this for your child?
This course is for you if…
- Your child is 10 or older and enjoys drawing
- They want to try several techniques and find their favourite
- You want structured lessons they can follow at home
Probably not a fit if…
- Children under 10 — the assignments assume some independence
- Exam-preparation art tuition
Why learn this in a structured course
Creative skills respond to method more than people expect. A clear structure — technique, demonstration, practice, self-check — removes the guesswork and leaves the creative part where it belongs.
Because every lesson produces a finished piece, progress is visible, which is what keeps beginners going through the awkward early stage.
After the course
Your child draws with more confidence and more control: they choose a technique for the picture they want, use references instead of guessing, and finish pieces rather than abandoning them. The first portfolio takes shape on the wall or in a folder.
Just as valuable, they learn that skill comes from practice and method — a lesson that outlasts drawing.
Frequently asked questions
What materials are needed?
Basic watercolours, soft pastels, pencils and paper. A list is provided with the first lesson.
How do I get access after paying?
Within a few minutes of payment you receive an email with your personal login to the course platform. Access does not expire.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Our Shipping & Refund Policy applies: contact info@mentorhubshop.com within 14 days of purchase if the course is not what you expected.
My child is 9 — is it too early?
The lessons assume the independence of a child of about 10; a younger child who draws a lot can follow with a parent nearby.
Do you give feedback on the drawings?
Each lesson ends with a self-check list that teaches the child to assess their own work, which is a skill in itself.
What format are the lessons in?
Pre-recorded video lessons with written summaries, available in your account on any device. You can pause, repeat and come back to any lesson whenever you like.
Can I go at my own pace?
Yes. Nothing is scheduled; start when you like and take as long as you need. Many students finish faster than the suggested duration, others spread it over months.
