I’m mentoring a small group of artists with Mastrius.com! Mastrius is an online community dedicated to fostering community and mentorship amongst artists of all skill levels.
In my new mentorship group, we’ll be focusing on:
▪️How to use color as a psychological force rather than a decorative element — understanding how specific color relationships create atmosphere, tension, and emotional states in the viewer, and how to apply this knowledge deliberately in your own work.
▪️How to strengthen the drama and narrative in your paintings through intentional choices of color, form, and composition
▪️Work productively with the tension between systematic thinking and intuitive gesture — using both structured color planning and spontaneous, expressive mark-making as complementary tools rather than opposing forces, giving your work both depth and energy.
▪️Develop your own personal color language — moving away from convention and habit toward a way of using color that is authentically yours, distinctive, and consistent across your work regardless of subject matter or medium.
▪️Critique your own work with an informed and honest eye — developing the ability to see clearly what is working in a painting, what is not, and precisely why, so that you become more independent, confident, and self-directed in your studio practice.
