When does the course begin?
This first round of "The Structure of Seeing" kicks off on Tuesday, June 17th. In the meantime you’ll also find introductory videos and prep materials instantly available for you before the official start date.
What Supplies Do I Need?
I’ve created a complete materials list to guide you, including optional tools I love to use (but aren’t required). You’ll find a link to the supply list in your welcome email, and it’s also available to view or download inside the classroom portal. Many students find they already have some of these supplies at home.
Do I Need Prior Drawing Experience?
This course welcomes all levels - whether you’re new to drawing or building on what you already know. I also encourage you to set aside any old habits and stay open to new and sometimes unconventional ways of seeing and drawing. If you keep an open mind, you might just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of.
How do I View the Content?
You can access the videos from most mobile devices and computers with high speed internet. You’ll get instant access to a private online classroom portal where new lessons will be added weekly. The content is organized clearly for easy navigation, including recordings, downloadable resources, and live sessions and Q&As.
How long do I have access to "The Structure of Seeing"?
You’ll have Lifetime access - meaning for as long as AlisonWellsArt is in business and offering art courses. As the course evolves, you’ll automatically receive updates and any new content added, so your learning journey continues even after the initial launch.

Due to the nature of this course, which includes immediate access to materials and live teaching, all sales are final. This early version of the course is offered at a significantly reduced rate in exchange for your participation, feedback, and presence as we shape the course together.
