Drawing lessons for adults and kids — online and in person
Drawing lessons are for adults who have long wanted to pick up a pencil or paints, parents of kids who draw on everything and applicants facing an art entrance exam. Describe your goal in an order — teachers will send responses. Or pick one yourself — by portfolio, lesson price and client reviews.
Drawing teachers
How much drawing lessons cost
What affects the price
Technique and materials
Pencils and paper are enough for drawing, while an oil painting lesson uses up canvas, paints and solvent. Check whether materials are included in the price.
What you draw from
A still life and plaster casts come from the teacher's own stock, while a studio pays a live model separately, so life drawing sessions usually cost more.
Lesson length
A painting lesson is usually longer than a drawing lesson: the palette has to be laid out and the underpainting done in one sitting.
Group, one-to-one or at home
A place in a studio group usually costs less than a one-to-one lesson, and a teacher coming to your home with an easel and a still life may charge for it separately.
Entrance exam preparation
Preparing for a creative entrance exam means setups from a university's program, timed drawings and checked homework, so it usually costs more than lessons for fun.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a drawing teacher
- 1
The teacher's and students' work
The teacher's own paintings show their level, and students' work shows what they can teach. Ask to see one student's drawings from the first lessons and a few months later.
- 2
Construction first or a painting at once
Some teachers start with construction, proportions and light and shadow; others take a student to a finished painting in the first lesson. Decide what suits you and ask about the course program.
- 3
Experience with children
Drawing with a preschooler and preparing a teenager for art school are different skills. Ask from what age the teacher takes students and how long a lesson for little ones lasts.
- 4
Your university's program
Creative entrance exam tasks differ: some universities set a plaster head, others an architectural detail or a still life. Ask if the teacher knows your university's program and sets timed drawings.
- 5
Online lessons and the camera
In an online lesson, the teacher needs to see your sheet, not just your face. Ask how they point out mistakes: drawing over a photo, sharing a screen or putting a camera over their own sheet.
What to put in the order
Who will be learning: you or your child, and how old the child is
Your level: from scratch, you have drawn before, or you already work with paints
Technique: pencil, watercolor, oil, sketching or drawing on a tablet — and whether you have your own materials
Goal: for yourself, art school or a creative entrance exam — and which major you are applying for
Format: online, at the teacher's studio or at home — and in which district
How often to meet, how long a lesson lasts, and payment per lesson
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
