A painting is more than technique — it’s mood, light, and emotion. Without those, even a technically solid image can fall flat.
In this mentorship, you’ll learn how to create paintings that are not just visually strong, but emotionally powerful. We’ll explore how to use light, color, and composition to guide the eye and craft images that tell a story and leave a lasting impression.
What You’ll Learn
- How to shape mood with light and color
- How to use composition to create clarity and impact
- How to carry an idea from sketch to finished painting with purpose
- How to give your work atmosphere and emotional resonance
How It Works
- 10 weeks of private 1-on-1 mentorship
- Weekly Zoom sessions (1–1.5 hrs) to review progress and set goals
- Personalized feedback with paintovers and guidance
- Sessions available in English or French
- Built around your project and artistic direction
Who It’s For
This mentorship is open to artists of all levels — from motivated beginners curious about visual storytelling, to professionals looking to deepen their control of mood, light, and composition.
If you want to explore how painting can create emotion and narrative, this class is designed for you.
Outcome
By the end of the mentorship, you’ll have a set of paintings that feel powerful, immersive, and emotionally resonant — with a clearer process for bringing emotion and storytelling into your art.
