Summary
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
You can enroll at anytime by hitting the "Enroll Today" button above and completing your first tuition payment. Once enrolled, you'll receive a welcome email with further information on how to access the program and get started.
How long will it take to complete?
The Core Program is self-paced, so it depends on how quickly you work and your goals. Some students achieve their goal in a month or two, for others it takes longer. If you work through the entire program start-to-finish with out rushing things, it could take 3-8 months; however it's different for each person.
How much is tuition?
Access to the Core Program is currently $49/month. This gives you full access to the entire program for the duration of your enrollment.
How long do I have to commit for?
Students enroll on a month-to-month basis so you are only committed to one month at a time. This allows for maximum flexibility.
I'm a beginner, is that OK?
Yes! You do not need any experience or "talent" to achieve amazing results. We start from the ground-up and establish the proper mindset, then get started with the materials you'll need and go from there.
What age range is this for?
I work with students from age 12-13 all the way up to retirees in their 80s. Whether preparing for post-secondary programs, enjoying it as a hobby, or developing a side-gig, art is fantastic for all seasons of life.
Do you provide feedback on our work?
If you are enrolled in the stand-alone Core Program, I offer technical support but do not provide feedback or personalized instruction. You will work through the program on your own. If you would like to upgrade I recommend checking out my Online Coaching program and if you live in the Kansas City area, my In-Studio Coaching program.
