Here are examples from some of my students who didn't realise what BRILLIANT artists they are... until they started working with me.
Watch this video for a peak inside,

and START trying something new. START learning new skills that you can build on over time. START working with me and trusting the success that ALL of my students have had. START in the privacy of your own sketchbook. START NOW. Stop the perfectionism. Stop the comparison. Stop thinking yours isn't as good. Stop looking for the easy way out. I will show you how, and you'll have skills for LIFE.

What people are saying:

"I've been watching (my friend) posting the amazing drawings she has done that she has learned from you Kim.  It really got me intrigued, as I cannot believe how far (my friend)has improved!! Thank you for the taster course. I'm really enjoying working my way through the Animal Faces. My favourite is the deer.  I've already framed my drawing. It turned out gorgeous."  Serin V., Auckland, NZ

"Very much not just for kids. As an adult, I have tried your free sample lessons which gave me the confidence to get your full package of lessons.  I LOVE the mandala lessons, and funky landscape designs.  I have come so far with the observational drawing lessons, and the animals, my word! This is exactly the course I was in need of, and I'm happy to be able to soak it all up over a year while getting to converse with you too Kim. Thank you so much." Dana A. New Zealand

"Our family loves seeing Tilly drawing her heart out with you on her screen, then uploading her art to show you.  She can't believe how quick you often are in getting back to her with feedback and compliments. This means so much. Now she really sees herself as an artist, and she will have this for LIFE. It's even got her brother into, so I'm pleased that we can share an enrolment. Thank you Kim." Lisa Touchen - NZ

"The most therapeutic hour I spent all weekend was doing those drawings. Feels so good.  Your teaching is so easy to follow and so relatable.  You make it so easy to do great drawings. I can see why all your students love you!" Natalie Coombe - Auckland NZ

"2 months passed she drew every weekday as promised and was really comfortable drawing. She spends 1 to 2 hours drawing. She really likes you. I didn't force her to study, she actively learns with you."  Tracy Nguyen, Auckland, NZ

"Kim's lessons are great for all ages. My 6 year old loves getting Kims feedback, she is very encouraging and uplifting. You can achieve fantastic looking art with very little set up costs. Many thanks Kim, have just signed up for more :)" Arna Stevenson, Hamilton NZ


...Because time flies.  You don't want your kids to grow up to seriously think they can't draw!

All Smilez®  began nearly 20 years ago for my personalised children's art,
​and since 2011 I've built up a thriving art studio full of regular students, specialising in drawing and painting.
I now also runs art classes for kids and beginners online so that I can help people all over the world.

Families are loving the confidence boost they see in their young people who take art classes at  my All Smilez  Hamilton, NZ studio. So much so that these students usually stay in my art classes for years upon years!  Now, I'm a super proud art teacher, thrilled to receive this same great feedback from parents across the world, who take part in my online art classes, with the best drawing and painting development courses for kids and beginner artists.

Are Online Art Classes Really Worth it?​  
✅  You bet they are!!!! These lessons are the same as what I do with the students in the studio.

from Kim's online/ video art classes:

​The website for parents, primary teachers and students, homeschool familes and schools who want create minded children, and are serious about drawing and painting. Art Teacher Kim encourages students to see and feel the principles and elements of art/design in ways that work for them. Individual style is ENCOURAGED! Teaching this, how to think like an artist, and how to draw and paint is her speciality.
