Learn from an artist with almost 20 years of experience 🌈

Over nearly two decades, from my early days as a struggling artist to teaching over 40,000 students globally and collaborating with major brands, I've faced my fair share of challenges and triumphs. Every hurdle I faced taught me something new, blessing me with the ability to tackle any art challenge.

That’s why, I was really excited to take on this course because I knew it would be a big challenge. I've done pet portrait commissions in the past, but teaching it is a whole different thing. Figuring out easy ways to capture all the little details and colors for lifelike pet portraits was quite the journey!

Price 💸 Convenience 👌 Time Investment ⏰ Guarantee 🔒
Youtube Free!
(Usually… You just have to watch the ads they show you.)

Ready when you are, but no clear curriculum to follow. Unlimited. There are so many different people to follow and videos to watch - you could spend the rest of your life watching videos and still not know what to do next. None.
Art School $$$$$
Anywhere from $15,000 to $60,000+ every YEAR.
Somewhat convenient.
All of your classes will be on one campus… You just have to drive there and attend class… every day.
2 to 8 years, depending upon your degree program and chosen path. None.
