Ready to Finally Make Real Progress With Your Art?

If you’ve been spinning your wheels—watching endless tutorials, bouncing between online classes, or copying other artists’ work—but still feel stuck, unsure, or like your art just isn’t improving the way you hoped…

You’re not alone.

Most aspiring artists struggle not because they lack passion or hard work,
but because they’re working with resources that weren’t made for their specific level, goals, or learning style.


And more often than not, they skip the one thing that makes all the difference:

A Solid Foundation in Art Fundamentals.

Without a clear understanding of topics like composition, form, value, perspective, and color theory, it’s easy to feel frustrated and plateau early—even after years of practice.
​
But once you truly understand these core building blocks,
everything starts to click.

Online Art Classes That Actually Move You Forward


Forget group classes that cover general topics and aren't really meant for your level and goals.

I help beginner and intermediate artists build real skill, clarity, and confidence—the kind that shows in your work.

These aren’t cookie-cutter lessons. Each class is tailored to you, your current level, and your goals, while making sure all Art Fundamentals are covered.

I guide you step-by-step through a custom learning path that covers all the essential Art Fundamentals—the same foundations taught in art school:

-The Elements and Principles of Art
-Composition and Visual Weight
-Form and Perspective
-Light Behavior and Shading
-Color Theory and Harmony
-Drawing and Watercolor Techniques

You’ll work through these topics in a carefully sequenced order, moving from basic to advanced concepts—so everything really clicks.

Why Art Fundamentals Matter

You can’t build a house without a strong foundation—and the same goes for art.

Without the fundamentals, artists end up relying on copying others, feeling unsure about their choices, and constantly hitting frustrating walls in their progress.

But once you master the basics, you gain the freedom to create original, high-quality work--art that looks professional and feels like you.

That’s where your confidence comes from.

That’s how real progress is made.

Before taking Erika’s one-on-one online drawing classes, I felt stuck in my artistic journey. I love watercolor painting, but my lack of drawing skills held me back. It was frustrating to have a clear vision of the art I wanted to create but feel unable to bring it to life.
 
Enrolling in Erika’s classes changed everything. She personalized each lesson to focus on my weaknesses and gave me the tools and confidence I needed to succeed. Every session felt like a safe space where I could learn, grow, and ask questions without feeling judged. Her thoughtful guidance not only improved my drawing skills but helped me discover a new love for drawing.
 
Now, I finally feel capable of creating the art I’ve envisioned for so long. Thanks to Erika, I’m no longer stuck—I’m inspired, confident, and excited about my art.

If you’re feeling stuck or frustrated with your art, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Erika—you won’t just learn to draw; you’ll learn to believe in your ability to create.
