Sometimes you just need a breakthrough!

Are you looking for professional feedback on improving your paintings?

Do you find it hard to paint loosely and expressively, while also keeping the realism and likeness?

Maybe you're feeling stuck and need some encouragement and motivation?

Let me make your dream come true! 

As a professional portrait artist of ten years, I've also been teaching art to adults for over seven years, in a variety of media including pastels, watercolors, acrylics and oils. 

Now you too can get one-on-one help with your art! 

With Private Art Mentoring you get:

- An outside perspective, to help you see your art with fresh eyes

- An intensive burst of guidance to inspire your breakthrough

- Creative ideas for how to loosen up a rigid painting, while keeping the likeness

- Ideas for expressing your vision and taking your paintings to the next level.

- Getting unstuck when something doesn't work

- Tips to start your next painting on the right foot for success

Painting feedback over email

$9.99 for each painting 

If you're the kind of person who likes time to think about what to say, and you don't like being ‘put on the spot’ during live calls, then you'll love the email option!

You'll just email me your images, and receive detailed feedback with edited images and inspiring suggestions, to give you a fresh new perspective.

You can ask questions about your paintings, whether it's help with the likeness, painting style, composition, brushwork or help with materials or any other questions.

How it works:

Please start by choosing how many paintings you'd like feedback on, then check out and email maria@mariawaye.com with the paintings and reference photos you'd like feedback on.
You'll receive a confirmation email from me personally, to let you know which day you can expect to see the feedback, usually in around 10 business days. 

Painting feedback over video chat

$15.99 for each painting

We can talk on via Zoom.us (https://zoom.us/) which allows us chat while we can see each other's computer screens as well as work spaces.

We'll spend 15 minutes on each painting.

How it works:
Start by choosing how many paintings you'd like feedback on, then check out and email maria@mariawaye.com with the paintings and reference photos you'd like feedback on.
You can email me the questions first, so I can get a rough idea of what you'd like to talk about during the chat.
We can find a time that works for both of us, then at the agreed upon time I'll connect with you via Zoom.us for the consultation. If you're not sure what Zoom is I can help you with the set up.
