I've been studying with Tiffanie for a long time and her lessons have taught me so much. Before the mentorship, I only knew how to do photo studies, but I didn't have an in-depth understanding of color and lighting, nor did I know how to apply them into my own work.

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!

When I'm outside now, I look at the clouds and buildings and marvel at the hue shifts, temperature changes, and value contrasts that I never noticed before! It's like another dimension to existence has been unlocked, and I am excited to apply my newfound knowledge to my work going forward.

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

Tiffanie has been instrumental in my artistic progress. As a self-taught painter, I didn't quite understand how light worked nor how important shapes were to a painting.

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!

I've been looking for a mentorship that would push me to get to that next level in my art, and I found it in this mentorship. Not only that, now I feel that I have a clearer objective in what I want to become as an artist. That's one of the things I'm loving from this mentorship, not only the in-depth aspect of the lectures but the inside and inner working of a new way of thinking that Tiffanie wants us to acquire and how to appreciate the art of the master painters.

Every class I take I feel like I opened a new door of possibilities with all the new knowledge that is brought. That you see me each week trying and experimenting how to utilize this knowledge in my daily paintings and how to improve them. The Notan studies and Grids were game changer for me, I find myself organizing and designing in a more proficient way. I'm super excited to see what's next. Thank you Tiffanie, you're a great mentor.

James Couture

Throughout my artistic journey, I've had countless different art teachers and mentors, both in & out of art school. But never have I had someone break down & teach painting the way Tiffany did. With in-depth lectures, comprehensive demos, and great feedback, she opens doors to new ways of thinking about value, light, and color.

I've found a tremendous amount of growth in my work, even over a short amount of time. I couldn't recommend Tiffanie's mentorship more to anyone who's looking to improve their painting skills, either traditionally or digitally! Thanks for being such an amazing mentor!
