Hi, I’m Mandy, and I want to help you teach realism skills to your students.
I know what it’s like to panic when a student asks how to draw “real” people.
How was I supposed to teach something that I didn’t really learn myself in my college classes?
Then I discovered a method of teaching realism skills that changed my art teacher life forever called “Atelier Training” (pronounced ah-tel-ee-ay).
After studying in ateliers full time for 5+ years, I now help art teachers all over the world teach realism skills to their students.
