I loved that there is an advanced class. I actually have to work hard to keep up and I love that! Normally I always do double homework to get the last out of the can as it were, now it was actually the homework itself that did the trick. Also, the lectures were so helpful with figuring out all my next steps! Loved it! We also had an amazing class!

Even though I was a beginner and felt a bit in awe of the much higher level of my classmates, Tayler was always very kind in giving me feedback, showing me all the areas in which I could improve and highlighting my strengths.

The programming of Tayler's syllabus follows a gradually increasing level of difficulty and has allowed me to understand the logic of progression behind the weekly exercises. Now, I know how to move independently in my own study time.

I learned so much about color with Tayler, he is one of the best teachers I had so far, giving me a lot of ideas, things to think about, and ways to keep learning in the never ending path of art. He also went above and beyond to help all of us succeed in the class. Thank you Taylor for your time and sharing so much with us!

Tiffanie [and her Sentient Mentorship] 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 studying with Tiffanie for a long time [ in her Sentient Mentorship] 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!

I'm really enjoying this class and everyone in it. It is the best thing I could have done for my future! Four weeks in this course has taught me more about what I want to do than four years as a studio art major in college.

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!

This was one of the best painting courses I've ever taken, and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about becoming a better painter.
