Master classical drawing and painting.

I've studied & painted professionally since 2012. Over the last several years, I've hosted students in my studio for a weekly portraiture class, as well as taught university portrait and figure courses. I never would have realized how much I enjoy teaching. However, I have found it pretty hard to provide the level of instruction I really want to in a format limited to only weekly class time. In order to provide my students a truly effective education, I've composed a complete curriculum based on the atelier education I myself received. This curriculum is focused on highly-structured independent work enhanced by personal 1:1 instruction. While I developed this curriculum thinking mainly about how to elevate my current students' education, the resulting program works very well for students really anywhere.

This program is based on the classical methods of the old European masters, which require excellence in fundamental principles. The exercises and projects given are simple, but difficult, and will build skills that will yield real improvement in your work. We'll meet online weekly for evaluations, critiques, demos, etc and you'll also be able to work with your peer students which will deepen your understanding of the principles I teach and honestly make it more fun. My personal goal as your mentor is to develop your freedom as an artist to ultimately express the things you want to. Regardless of your current skill level, if you're willing to put in a lot of good work, this program is for you and I can promise you'll see dramatic development before too long.
