*BEFORE YOU JOIN PATREON*
Have you considered joining the KR Fine Art Academy instead?
It's a MIUCH BETTER alternative to Patreon!
Did you know that by joining the Academy (for a lower price than Patreon), you will have access to all of the same content PLUS all of these benefits below as well?
I will still be uploading regular tutorials to Patreon so if you would still like to join Patreon (or are a member already) there's no need to worry! If you are a member of Patreon and would like to switch over to the KR Fine Art Academy but have a few questions, click here to read through the FAQ or contact me!
Drawing & painting tutorials
THAT ARE EASY TO FOLLOW
so you can create realistic and professional artwork
...even if you're just starting out!
Are you struggling to make your artwork look more realistic?
Confused about the supplies you need, how to choose your colours, or how to start your first layer?
Do you have some drawing experience already and really want to take your artwork to the next level... but not sure how?
Are you tired of spending hours adding tiny details to your drawings but they don't seem to look any more realistic?
After sharing hundreds of my art tutorials on YouTube and Patreon,
I have learned that most people go through the same struggles, and have the same questions when it comes to learning
how to draw realistically with pastels, coloured pencils, charcoal, and more!
Don't worry... I have been in your shoes!
That is why I have created these tutorials, so you don't have to go through valuable years
of trial and error, research, and frustration!
Don't pay for expensive art classes!
For a small amount per month, my tutorials will guarantee that you'll learn everything you need to know to start creating beautiful artwork of your own.
Whether you are a beginner hobby artist, or you are wanting to pursue a career with your art, if you'd like to improve your drawing and painting skills even further, then my Patreon channel is the solution for you!
No matter what stage you are at on your artistic journey, between my extensive library of small studies and bigger projects, and my complete beginner's section, my tutorials will take away the confusion, answer all your questions, and take you to the next step of creating realistic and professional artwork!
*PLUS*
Brand new tutorials are added to the Patreon Library every month!
Hi there, I'm Kirsty Rebecca!
Why should you trust me?
When I started taking drawing and painting more seriously, I discovered a lot of people using materials that aren’t archival or lightfast.
This was a problem because their artwork has the potential to fade/flake/discolour/crack over time, due to the art supplies they were using.
On the other hand, there were artists using
professional supplies, but they spent
50 to 100 hours on a
single piece of art…
which would drive me insane!
...or there were oil painters who seemed to
be speaking another language that they must
have acquired from their fancy art school…
I couldn’t find any artists who were using archival art supplies, creating the style of artwork that I liked... and also explained what they were doing in a way that was easy to understand!
I soon developed a passion for helping other artists with the same problem.
This is the reason I now create drawing and painting tutorials that are easy to follow, so you can create realistic and professional artwork,
even if you’re just starting out!
What do the tutorials include?
Every tutorial is real-time so I can take you through every step of the process.
I don't skip any important parts of the process, so you will see every stroke from beginning to end!
My videos are fully narrated so you can easily follow along and understand my decision-making process to help you gain the knowledge you need to improve your drawing and painting skills even further!
There are many valuable tips in each tutorial, along with information that will be useful for you in your future projects!
You will also have access to downloadable reference photos such as;

This will be your "go-to" reference throughout the drawing process!
Colour Swatches
To help you see which colours are in which area of your reference photo!
High Saturation
Showing some of those "hidden" colours that may not be as obvious!
Traceable Outline
Starting with an accurate outline is super important! This may help you out!
Supply List
A full list of supplies, including colour names, so you can follow along easily!
WHAT ARE MY STUDENTS SAYING?

"I THINK KIRSTY REBECCA IS AN AMAZING ARTIST AND VERY INFORMATIVE. FINDING HER ON PATREON WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. YOU WON'T REGRET SIGNING UP FOR HER INSTRUCTIONAL LIVE TUTORIALS, AND PLEDGING A SMALL AMOUNT EACH MONTH TO LEARN A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE. SHE TAKES HER TIME, SHE HAS INTEGRITY AND SHE CARES ABOUT HER FOLLOWERS AND WHAT WILL HELP US ALONG OUR UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC JOURNEYS. THANK YOU KIRSTY FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE ART COMMUNITY"
did you know?
A lot of art instructors REFUSE to give you the names of the colours they are using for their tutorials?
Their reasoning is that you should be looking at your reference photo and choosing your own colours...
...and if you rely on the teacher giving you the names of the colours, it will always be a crutch and you'll never know what colours to use on your own projects
But I know that some people learn better when they know what colours the teacher is using!
Or maybe you just want a fun project to follow along with as a weekend hobby!
(without the hassle and stress of choosing colours!)
In my tutorials, I always let you know what colour I am using throughout the process...
so you can make the decision for yourself
whether you want to choose your own colours, or use the same ones I am using!
If you decide you want to create artwork from your own reference photo, there's no need to worry because there is a full beginners section of tutorials that will show you how!
I teach you how to choose your colours, and make colour swatches from any reference photo, so you will know exactly what to do!
Are you worried that my tutorials look a little bit difficult for a beginner?
Every tutorial takes you through the entire process in real-time so I can explain what colours I am using and why, and you can see every stroke I make throughout the process!
However, if you are new to drawing, my beginner's section goes through the fundamentals for you!
In this section, I break down everything you need to know, so you have the knowledge to get started
Some of the tutorials in the complete beginner's section include;
-
How to choose a reference photo
-
Editing a reference photo for your artwork
-
How to start with an accurate initial outline
-
Choosing your colours
-
Fundamentals of values (and the importance)
-
And much more!
Once you have gone through these tutorials, you will have the confidence to jump into my "bigger" projects, or even start a drawing from your own choice of reference photo!
