TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS

«Thank you so much to Dream&Draw and Anastasia for the wonderful, informative, detailed, and inspiring course! The preparatory lessons are very useful; they provide the right mindset and understanding of the basic principles of drawing, which greatly helps in taking this course. The creative exercises turned out to be a very pleasant addition. The course is structured from simple to complex, allowing for a smooth entry into learning and enjoyment of the process! I want to separately mention the actual drawings that we get to create - they are simply lovely! Very beautiful and stylish. Anastasia explains and demonstrates everything in great detail and in an accessible manner during the lessons, offering different variations. This is highly valuable and important for beginners like me. I'm not saying goodbye here and will keep on drawing with you more and more!»

Anna Milogorodskaia

«Perhaps my review will sound a bit strange, but... so be it.
Exactly two months ago, I picked up watercolor paints and brushes for the first time since school. We were drawing a cactus on a free demo course.
If someone had shown me some of the drawings I've done in the past couple of months and said, 'Look at what you'll be able to draw in a few months!' I simply wouldn't have believed it! It couldn't be, because it can never be!
And how wrong I would have been.
But that didn't happen, and I, completely unaware of my potential, obediently drew and kept drawing with Anastasia, unable to stop.
Anastasia's gentle voice, which sometimes sounded a bit purring to me, instilled confidence in me and made me believe in my abilities, spread my wings, escape from the mundane reality, and, each time with a brush in hand, soar into the world of fantasies and dreams!
It was difficult! But no one promised it would be easy. And what seemed impossible yesterday became a reality today.
And so, step by step, from small strawberries to mountains and the sea!
Thank you.
I'm your fan for life!»

Julia Perestoronina

«This was my first drawing course. Before this, I only had art lessons in school and self-study. I want to say a huge thank you to Anastasia and Dream&Draw school for the detailed, informative, and understandable explanations of the lessons and for believing in their students! During the course, I gained the missing knowledge about the basics of drawing, became more confident in watercolor painting (my hands were shaking with fear during the first sketch of strawberries), stopped being afraid of making mistakes or messing up, and started believing in myself and my abilities. In addition to the main lessons and the basic fundamentals of drawing, the course includes exercises to develop imagination and hand coordination, which also help overcome the fear of a blank page. Once again, thank you very much! I'm looking forward to new lessons and marathons! Drawing with you is a pure pleasure!»

Anastasia Daricheva

«A few months ago, I followed Dream&Draw on Instagram, drew a wonderful house together with Anastasia in a live stream, and fell in love with her lessons!!! Since then, I've been drawing every day!!! I participated in all the Christmas marathons with great pleasure!!! Without hesitation, I enrolled in the Sketching Start course! Every lesson from Anastasia holds a lot of new and interesting information!!! I've learned many sketching techniques, understood which materials to use for the desired result! In addition to the 11 lessons on drawing cool sketches, the course includes 5 cool exercises for beginners! Now drawing has become even more exciting!!! I wholeheartedly thank Anastasia and her art school for this wonderful course!!!»

Victoria Nazarova

«Wonderful sketching courses. We drew together with my child. My son has become much better at drawing, and at school, when they saw his drawings, they even gave him extra grades. He used to draw without pleasure, but now he enjoys it. Anastasia explains things well and in an accessible way. She talks about many nuances. It's just what children and beginners need. We will continue!»

Albina Milovanova

«This is already my second course with Anastasia, plus the marathons. And all of this in just a year! For me, this is the best way to present material! I tried participating in lessons from other schools, and I understand what I'm talking about.
Until I was 30 years old, I was 100% sure that I couldn't draw at all and that watercolors were children's paints that weren't very convenient to paint with.
And suddenly, drawing became the best way for me to relax, have a conversation with myself, and just not go crazy!
Thank you for the inspiration, interesting topics, and for the professional and high-quality recording of lessons!»

Tatyana Alieva

«I express my immense gratitude to Anastasia and the entire Dream&Draw school team! The lessons are selected excellently - various themes and watercolor techniques, as a beginner, I found everything interesting! The theory is explained very clearly, and basic knowledge is provided. I tried food sketching, floristics, animalistic art, nature, and part of a building. I've already determined what I like more and where I want to acquire more skills! Thank you so much! Very informative, interesting, and makes you want more! I also participate in marathons and get a lot of pleasure from them. Anastasia's video lessons are just excellent - they charge you with positivity by 100%! I recommend it to everyone who wants to try something new but lacks knowledge in watercolor sketching!»
