Discouraged by Flat, Static, and Boring Paintings?

  • Your environments or characters lack believable depth

  • You’ve outgrown basic 2D tools but don’t know how to bridge into 3D

  • You struggle to incorporate 3D tools without losing your painterly look

  • Tutorials feel scattered, confusing, or too technical

  • You want to speed up your workflow and spend more time painting, not guessing perspective.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this suitable for complete beginners?

    Of course! But if you’re interested in warming up to my instruction, I think the best place to begin is at my YouTube Channel. I have many short lessons there covering a whole slew of important art fundamentals.

  • What supplies / software do you recommend?

    There are no absolute requirements, but I do recommend having a tablet (a product like Wacom or Huion, for example) as well as a digital painting application.

    For traditional media, any brand of watercolors and gouache will work, though do not recommend student-grade paints. I use brands like Winsor&Newton, Holbein, and Daniel Smith. I also recommend using at least 140lb paper, as anything thinner will not be able to survive multiple washes.

  • How long do I have access?

    You get lifetime access to all courses and materials, including any future updates.

  • Is there a money-back guarantee?

    Yes! We offer a 15-day money-back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied.

  • Can I add a course certificate to my LinkedIn or resume?

    Yes! You will receive a Completion Certificate at the end of each course.

  • Do you sell your brushes?

    You bet! Check out the Brush Pack section.

  • Do you offer one-on-one mentorships or critiques?

    I do! You can learn more and book directly here.
