Hi, I’m Mandy, and I want to help you learn realism skills.
I know what it’s like to panic when you identify as an artist and someone asks you how to draw “real” people.
How was I supposed to know something that I didn’t really learn myself in my college art classes?
Then I discovered a method of learning and teaching realism skills that changed my life forever called “Atelier Training” (pronounced ah-tel-ee-ay).
After spending tens of thousands of dollars studying in ateliers full time for 5+ years, I now help art teachers and artists all over the world learn and teach realism skills for just $500/month.
