One-to-One Art Coaching

Online or In Person

I offer personalized coaching tailored to your unique goals –– from beginner to advanced –– paced for your budget, for any painting or drawing medium. My apprentices typically meet with me one-to-one on a weekly basis, where I provide lessons, live demos, assignments, critiques, & more.

Command the fundamentals: paint or draw confidently through principles that translate across mediums


Paint with the light: learn to perceive, understand, and wield light to create powerful impressions


Create original artwork: gain processes & tools for inventing your own, unique compositions

If you are interested in coaching, you can start by submitting your art for a free critique, or reach out to me directly at dcfolta@gmail.com.
