Private Mentorship

Welcome to my Mentorship Page

I offer personalized one-on-one mentorship, both in person and virtually, tailored to your artistic journey. Whether you’re seeking a one-time consultation or a more rigorous, long-term program, I create a plan to help you meet your goals. I have students I’ve been working with for years, and everything I offer is based on your individual needs.

My methodology blends the classical atelier approach with my personal experience in classical realism, ensuring a solid foundation and consistent progress.

Topics I Teach:

Portrait Drawing
Portrait Painting
Foundation Drawing
Art Career Advice

For ongoing students, I assign projects, provide at-home exercises, and offer detailed guides and resources to support continued learning. This program is designed for serious artists who are dedicated to honing their craft—there are no shortcuts, and we build a strong foundation from the ground up.

Sample Program and Topics from the Foundation Drawing Course:

Learning to Measure
Stages of Drawing – Theory
Stages of Drawing – Practice
Beginning “Independent Project” (Skull Study / Bargue Drawing)
Take-home Assignments
How to Develop Accurate Drawing
Exposure to Portrait Drawing
