Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

Click the Book a Demo button on this page. Tell us your child's age and any previous art experience; we will schedule a free trial session with a matching teacher. For details, contact our coordinator on WhatsApp at +91 93308 11581 or email contact@winquestonline.com.

My child has never drawn or painted before. Is that ok?

Absolutely. Our Beginner level assumes no prior experience. The teacher will start with basic shapes, line and colour and build up step by step. Most students begin without any background and create beautiful art within their first month.

What art supplies do we need?

For the Beginner level, a basic kit (HB / 2B pencils, eraser, sharpener, A4 sketchbook, colour pencils, watercolour set, brushes sizes 0, 4 and 8) is enough. For intermediate / advanced we recommend acrylic paints, palette, canvas boards. We share a detailed shopping list before the first class and our recommended brands are affordable everywhere.

How does payment work?

We require monthly advance payments for the number of classes scheduled in that calendar month. We accept Zelle, PayPal, UPI (for India), Stripe and major credit / debit cards.

What if my child misses a class?

For 1:1 sessions we reschedule a make-up at a mutually convenient time at no extra cost (with at least 24 hours notice). For group classes we share a timed recording of the session.

How long is each class?

Each class session is 60 minutes long. Frequency is typically twice a week for beginners, once a week for intermediate and advanced students working on longer projects.

Will my child be able to participate in art exhibitions?

Yes. We organise periodic virtual exhibitions where parents can see all the students' work and your child's art is professionally photographed for a digital portfolio. Advanced students prepare for school art exhibitions, board art exams and college portfolio submissions.

Can my child prepare for CBSE / ICSE board art?

Yes. Our advanced level explicitly maps to CBSE Class 10 Painting (Code 049), ICSE Class 10 Art (Code 14), and college admission portfolios for NID / NIFT / JJ School. Tell us during the demo and we will allocate a teacher familiar with the relevant board.

Are the teachers qualified?

All our art teachers have at least a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from a recognised institution or 10+ years of teaching experience. Each teacher is interviewed by our cultural-arts head before joining.

What are the requirements?

A laptop / tablet with a clear webcam and stable internet, a well-lit workspace with natural light if possible, and a basic art kit (we send a detailed shopping list). The teacher will provide a more detailed checklist before the first class.
