🢖 How Often Should Intermediate Learners Practice When Away from the Studio?

Practice makes perfect! Artistic skill is no exception. By taking what is taught in the studio and applying it to daily practices and school projects, learners should see a steady improvement in work quality.

We recommend starting a visual diary recorded through drawings. This can include events, activities, social interactions, still life, and observational drawings. Around 20–30 minutes of practice a day is enough to hone intermediate-level drawing skills.
