Audited Mentorship Details
The Audited Standard Mentorship program is for students who enjoy working at their own pace, and are too busy to attend live classes. These students are usually fast learners. The Audited mentorship program does NOT include access to live classes, or mentor feedback. Students will have access to recorded classes as they occur in the standard mentorship as well as all applicable bonus lectures, bonus interviews, downloads, handouts and homework assignments. This program is only available at the discretion of Tiffanie Mang.
Format: This is a 4 month program. Students may keep pace with the Standard Mentorship or work at their own pace.
Weekly Recorded Lectures/ Bonus lectures/ Sentient community discussion to communicate with peers
Audited Tuition : $98.00 per month ($392.00 over a four month period)
What if I can't make it to live sessions?
What if I need to leave the program early?
This should, however, be a worst case scenario as accepting one of the twelve seats in this program prevents another artist from participating.
I'm interested in the Advanced program. How do I know if my work is good enough yet?
I am confused about how much this program costs!
The Advanced program will require four monthly payments of $400 dollars each. The full price of the program is $1,600.
What if I only want to apply for the audited program?

Every lesson and homework in the mentorship has benefited me tremendously, and I'm now much more comfortable creating the images I want. I'm very grateful to have such a responsible and wonderful teacher like Tiffanie!

Practically speaking, Tiffanie's mentorship curriculum is extremely robust. Tiffanie teaches that painting well and understanding light/color comes from an amalgamation of different kinds of study - plein airs, matrix studies, fine art master studies, film studies, personal experimentation, etc. She leads us into exploring all of these (at a pace tailored to each individual) and explains in her demos how she synthesizes insights from such varied experiences. Her consummate knowledge of her craft is apparent in her ability to field all kinds of questions, helping both beginners and more advanced students.
Additionally, she constantly role-models curiosity and the desire to improve. This passion and humility makes her a uniquely inspiring teacher...her confidence gradually translates into your own. I could not more highly recommend her mentorship to anyone looking to become a better painter and artist!
Clara Ryu
I recently landed a concept art job with Walt Disney Imagineering, and I believe without Tiffanie this could not have happened at all.
My art has immensely progressed to the point other people started consistently commenting on my progress.
I am excited to continue my studies and self-development with Tiffanie and grow further as an artist!
