Parents often spend a lot on art supplies before the first class. Please don't — here is what is genuinely required.
Bring on day one
- A plain drawing sketchbook (A4 is fine)
- HB and 2B pencils
- A good eraser and sharpener
- A basic box of oil pastels or colour pencils
Add later, once the child continues
- Watercolour set and brushes
- Acrylic colours and a small canvas
- Craft scissors, glue and coloured paper
Skip for now
- Very large professional sets — most colours go unused
- Expensive branded kits marketed for children
We guide every new student on exactly what to buy after the first class, so nothing is wasted.
