Private mentorship with Dorian Iten
Together we'll sharpen the fundamentals that actually change your work – controlling proportions, drawing convincing form and composition – applied straight to the pieces you care about.
One-on-one art mentorship by video call. We start where you are, look at your current work, and build a path toward your goals. You get a coach in your corner: hands-on feedback, live demonstrations, and a clear study plan.
Artists who want feedback on their actual work, not generic lessons.
Anyone who has plateaued and wants direction that fits their own goals.
Those who learn faster with a teacher watching, demonstrating, and holding the standard.
No particular level required. I meet you where you are.
Live video calls – we review your work, I demonstrate, you leave with a clear next step.
Email support – reach out if you are stuck or need advice between sessions.
A private hub – every session recorded, plus shared notes, so nothing is lost.
Private mentorship consists of regular video calls centered around your goals.

Hi, I'm Dorian. I've spent 18 years teaching artists to see – most recently as director of the Digital Art & Design program at the Barcelona Academy of Art, after apprenticing with masters across academic art, illustration, and entertainment design. More than 20,000 artists have learned from my courses. In mentorship, all of my experience points at one thing: supporting your development.
A few examples of my oil paintings, sculptures, and drawings.
Please complete the following steps to apply for your private art mentorship.
I take on a small number of mentorship students at a time. Currently, I have 2 spots open.
Step 1
Share your goals and current situation, to help me assess compatibility.
Step 2A
Provide 10–40 examples of your artwork. The more, the better.
Step 2B
Provide 5–10 examples of the type and quality of work you are aiming for.
Step 3
After I review your application, I'll get in touch about a 1-hour video call to see if we're a good match. We'll also sketch out your path and next steps to take together.

No. I meet you where you are – beginners and working pros both. The plan is built around your personal goals, not a fixed syllabus.
Not for an individual session. You can book one anytime. The 6- and 12-session mentorships begin with an application and free discovery call so we can make sure we’re a good fit.
You can choose a time that is convenient for you directly on my calendar.
Just a stable internet connection and a device with Zoom. Have your artwork ready to share on screen or via your camera.
Yes. You can reschedule through the link in your confirmation email.
It does. Calls are over video, and you can book slots directly on my calendar, displayed in your time zone.
Yes, if you’d like. With your permission, I’ll record the session and add it to your private hub so you can review it later.
Individual sessions and 6-session packages expire after 6 months; 12-session packages after 12 months; extensions are available for illness or other genuine circumstances.
Individual sessions can be refunded more than 3 hours before the scheduled session. Refunds are subject to a 5% administrative fee.
For mentorship, used sessions are not refundable, but unused sessions can be refunded if it turns out not to be a good fit or life gets in the way. Refunds are based on the remaining unused session balance, less a 5% administrative fee.
