Welcome
I'm Rosso. I have painted full time for seventeen years, and I have taught more than 1,500 students, online and in person.
I offer one-on-one mentorship because artistic growth is not always just about painting. Sometimes, it’s about overcoming fear, breaking through creative blocks, and letting go of the limitations we place on ourselves.
That’s why I believe so strongly in direct, personal, human connection. Having the space to discuss your work, question your approach, exchange perspectives, and explore new possibilities can be just as transformative as learning a new technique.
When we look at your paintings together, I can see what is holding you back and what is already working. Then we decide the next step together.
Mentorship is for artists who already paint regularly and want to go further: to solve a problem in their work, to develop their own style, or to build a body of work. If this sounds like you, I would be happy to work with you.

What's included
Live video sessions
We work together in real time. You share your canvas, I respond directly — no delay, no filter. Approx 1 hour p/session.
Painting feedback
Submit work between sessions. I review it on my end — written notes on what's working and what to address next.
Email access
Direct written communication throughout. For questions, blockers, or when you need a quick steer mid-painting.
A structured plan
Every engagement starts with a clear focus — what we're working on, why, and in what order. No guesswork.
Two ways to work with me
Start with a single Intro Session, or commit to six months of Full Mentorship.
Intro Session
A single session to look at your work together, understand where you are, and identify what's most in need of attention. There's no commitment beyond this. Some people leave with enough to work on independently for months. Others use it as the start of a longer engagement.
$150.00 USD
Full Mentorship
For artists who want to make a substantial shift — in the quality of their work, in how they understand their own practice, or in moving toward a coherent body of work. Six months gives us space to go deep and build something that lasts. BONUS: Include full access to Complete Program. $340/month (6 monthly instalments) or pay in full.
$1,850.00 USD
Full Mentorship includes COMPLETE
When you join Full Mentorship, you also get lifetime access to COMPLETE, my full painting programme. It has over 60 hours of video demonstrations and downloadable guides: head anatomy, colour and skin tones, oil portraits step by step, abstract textured grounds in mixed media, and my process for large paintings.
You can refer to the modules at any time, but you will not follow them alone. Over the six months, we work on your own plan together, and we change it as your work develops.
How it works
Select a package that suits you, book an introductory call, and I'll talk you through every step then.
01 — Choose how to start
Book an Intro Session or Full Mentorship. Not sure? Start with an Intro Session. There is no commitment beyond that.
02 — Book directly or apply
You can book and pay online. If you prefer to talk first, you can send a short application before booking.
03 — We build a plan
Before the first session we establish a clear focus. What we're addressing, in what order, and with what goal.
04 — We work
Live sessions, painting feedback, and email access throughout - specific to your practice. Most students see a shift in their work from the very first session.
Who this is for
- You paint regularly and want to push further, not start from scratch
- You have a specific problem you can't solve on your own
- You've done courses before and want something more direct
- You want honest, studio-level feedback
- You're working toward a body of work, an exhibition, or a professional shift
- Your portraits are technically solid but still feel flat
Who this is not for
- Complete beginners: the foundation courses are the right place to start
- Artists looking for validation rather than honest critique
- Anyone expecting a formula or a style to copy
- People who aren't painting between sessions
Apply
I take on no more than 5 private students at a time.
You can book and pay online. If you prefer to talk first, or if you are considering Full Mentorship, you are welcome to send a short application instead. Either way works.
The form takes two minutes. Tell me about your work and what you want to address. I will reply within a few days.
If you are not sure which option fits, say so in your message. I will suggest what makes sense after looking at your work.
Application form
A few questions about you and your work — no essay required.
I review every application personally and respond within a few days.
