Course Requirements

Technical Requirements

Cleanoasparkle courses are delivered entirely online through our user-friendly platform. Here's what you'll need to access your lessons and submit your work for feedback.

Computer or Tablet

Any modern computer, laptop, or tablet with internet access will work perfectly. Our platform is optimized for all devices, allowing you to learn from wherever you're most comfortable.

Stable Internet Connection

A reliable internet connection is needed to stream video lessons and access course materials. Standard broadband speeds are more than sufficient for smooth playback.

Email Address

You'll need a valid email address to create your account, receive course updates, and communicate with instructors about your progress and feedback.

Camera or Smartphone

To submit your artwork for feedback, you'll need a way to photograph or scan your pieces. A smartphone camera works excellently for this purpose.

Art Supplies

Basic Materials

Each course at cleanoasparkle includes a detailed supply list specific to the techniques you'll be learning. You don't need expensive professional-grade materials to start, and we provide recommendations at various price points.

For drawing courses, you'll typically need pencils of varying hardness, an eraser, drawing paper, and possibly charcoal. Painting courses require brushes, paint in your chosen medium, appropriate paper or canvas, and basic mixing equipment.

We provide guidance on where to purchase supplies in New Zealand and offer tips for building your art kit gradually as you progress through the course material.
