Independent Study
Improve your creative skills. Build your confidence.
Whether you want to learn to draw, apply to a top-shelf design college, learn to learn to paint, create your brand, or craft your professional portfolio, I can help you get it done.
My independent instruction is custom-tailored to take you from where you are to where you want to be. Instruction is available for drawing and sketching, visual design, color theory, watercolor painting, gouache painting, and perspective drawing, and more.
HOW ARE STUDY SESSIONS STRUCTURED?
My independent study program is a series of one-hour, one-on-one sessions scheduled once a week for 3 or 6 weeks.
Sessions take place online via Zoom or Adobe Connect.
Each session includes instruction, customized assignments, and evaluation of your work. Assignments include research and practical application.
You can book a single session, a block of 3 weekly sessions or a block of 6 weekly sessions.
After the first block of sessions or consultation is completed, you can book subsequent blocks.
WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT?
Your time commitment for assignments in addition to our sessions is typically 3–5 hours per week, but may be more or less, depending on how you work.
