Can I help you?
How does the payment work?
With one payment of €297,- you get lifetime access to the club. The payment options are: Credit Card, IDEAL, PayPal and SEPA direct debit.
There’s also an option to pay in 3 terms. After choosing this option, all 3 terms should be paid in order to gain lifetime access.
When will I get access to the lessons?
You get access immediately after completing your purchase, with the login details you choose at signup. Every member will have access to all previously uploaded tutorials and all new lessons. Lessons can be accessed on https://leontinevanvliet.com/members-only/
What is your refund policy?
A full refund can be made if you send an email to support@leontinevanvliet.com within 7 days after your purchase.
Can I access the other lessons if I only work with colored pencil?
Yes, every member gets access to all lessons, including those with different materials. The fun thing is that you can learn from all videos and implement the techniques to your own materials. Some pastel techniques can be applied to colored pencil and vice versa!
Are there only tutorials about animals on the site?
About 80% of the tutorials are based around animals, but there are also tutorials on flowers, water, fruits and many wildlife tutorials include an interesting background. Although I am focused on animals I also think it’s important to practice other subjects!
Are the videos subtitled?
Yes, you can turn on automated subtitles in your own language. This is a new feature which I am very glad about!
Can I follow the lessons in my own time?
Yes! You will have unlimited access to all lessons. You can follow any lesson you want in your own time and tempo. Whenever a live session is hosted, the recording will stay available as well.
Are the lessons suitable for beginners?
Yes, each material category contains a ‘basics’ section where you can find smaller studies and basic techniques. The Dogs&cats drawing course and sketchbook sessions are great for beginners too. Though you’ll find you can move on to the full animal portraits pretty quickly, even as an obsolute beginner!
I’m already experienced. Can I learn anything here?
Absolutely. Both with colored pencil and pastels I have created some highly detailed and professional portraits. The most detailed tutorials can take around 15-20 hours and will definitely challenge you. On top of that you can choose to follow the pastel&colored pencil combination tutorials which are also very challenging.
Do I get guidance from you?
When becoming a member you’ll get access to the student Facebook group. You can use this to ask me and the other members for feedback or just share the drawing you’re currently working on. You can always email me as well!
On top of that we start off your Drawing Club journey with a group kick-off session, where you can discuss your goals and current level with me. After 2 months we’ll do a progress session, in which we can evaluate where you’re at and how you can improve in the club.
What materials do I need to get started?
Inside the members-only area you can find a full material explanation as it does depend on your interests. For the graphite tutorials you can get started with a simple pencil and paper. For colored pencil I myself use Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and Stabilo Carbothello pastel pencils on Pastelmat for the pastel tutorials. You will still be able to follow along with different brands. If you’re wondering about the quality of your materials feel free to send me an email so I can advice you.
I can’t understand English very well. Are the lessons suitable for me?
Although you can turn on subtitles, I only recommend joining the club if you understand at least basic English. All texts on the site are in English and reading subtitles isn’t always convenient while drawing along. Wondering if you’d be able to understand? I recommend watching a few video on my youtube channel. If you can understand those, you’ll be good!
