What is the Drawing Field Kit?
Torch & Trowel Field Kits are printable, screen-free art lessons designed for homeschool families who want real drawing instruction without the stress of planning.
Homeschool Ready
Each kit includes everything you need: guided lessons, visual examples, and more. Print a unit, open the guide, and begin. No prep. No guesswork.
Give & Go Accessibility
Teachers appreciate the structure because it runs itself. Each page explains what to do, what to notice, and what comes next. It works just as well in a classroom as it does at the kitchen table.
Screen-Free, Skill-First Design
No apps or screens. Only focused lessons that train attention, patience, and craft. It turns art time into a quiet rhythm of real learning.

I created Torch & Trowel to give parents a clear, low-stress path to real drawing development. Each screen-free Field Kit is simple, structured, and printer-ready—guiding kids toward focus, confidence, and lasting skill with nothing more than pencil and paper. It’s the resource I wished for when I first began teaching.
