Standard Mentorship
Standard Mentorship (Fundamental Skills)

In this 4-month mentorship program, we’ll focus on mastering fundamental skills and gradually applying them to different subjects, helping you become a well-rounded artist. Each month builds on the previous one, blending technical growth with artistic vision:
 
Month One: We’ll discuss your artistic goals, cover essential topics like composition, value studies, and understanding color. Through structured assignments, you’ll explore techniques starting with thumbnail sketches, Notan studies, and understanding value scales with simple subject matter such as a sphere.
 
Month Two: Develop foundational skills through still life from life. Using an apple, we will analyze the composition, block-in the color, and refine the painting. Glazing techniques will also be introduced.
 
Month Three: Build on those skills with a floral painting. Explore how to create dynamic compositions, layer colors effectively, and capture the essence of floral subjects.
 
Month Four: Apply your technical skills to portraiture. Focus on proportions, observing light and shadow on the face, painting natural skin tones, and creating a lifelike portrayal.
 
Includes weekly live Zoom sessions, personalized feedback, and a year of access to recordings and resources.

Tailored Plan: Set goals at the start and work toward them with a custom plan.
 
One-on-One and Small Group Meetings: We will schedule Monthly Zoom sessions to discuss progress, refine techniques, and overcome challenges.
