Brian trained and got started as an instructor at Watt's Atelier of the Arts which is home to some of the best art instructors in the world.

Skills for success
Our mission is to help you build a solid foundation of fundamental drawing skills to transform your drawings and give you the confidence you need to succeed as an artist.
Why did we create foundation art school?

How does the school work?
Our courses are five weeks long and consist of weekly demos and, for Gold-level students, a personalized critique video for each week. All students will receive the same reference that the instructor uses in the demo plus more images to work from for their weekly practice assignments.
