TEACHING
3-MONTH ONLINE COURSE
color is queen
Begins Spring 2026.
You became an artist because you’re drawn to color. But color isn’t easy to manage — it can become unruly, even overwhelming.
Your work may be missing the energy you long to infuse into it. Mixing becomes rushed, and the color lands… dull.
What if I told you that a deeper connection with color can give your work a new life? And it will propel your creative practice forward BIG WAY.
WHEN YOU HONOR THE COLOR IN YOUR WORK AS A QUEEN… YOU BECOME THE QUEEN.
“Yana’s consistent support and wisdom have empowered me to navigate challenges with newfound confidence and I am seeing results in the quality of my work and how I present myself. Under her guidance, I've not only honed my skills but discovered a deeper purpose and authenticity in my artistic pursuits.”
SELF-PACED COURSE:
One Stroke at a Time
Join me for this self-paced, pre-recorded online course that teaches you how to paint flowers from a photo reference inspired by the Dutch masters. You’ll get over three hours of step-by-step demonstrations, guidance on choosing and preparing your reference image, and tips for setting yourself up for painting success.
Work at your own pace and enjoy lifetime access, all for a one-time fee of $199.
“Working with Yana has been an invaluable journey for me. She has pushed me to improve my painting skills through engaging exercises and insightful critiques.”
1:1 Private Mentorship:
For Artists (Online)
This is an 8-week online program designed to help you build confidence, clarify your creative vision, and grow both inside and outside the studio. While created with painters in mind, it’s open to all visual artists.
This is a highly personalized experience—no one-size-fits-all approach. Admission is by application, and tuition is $1,111 per student. Expect to dedicate 2–3 days of focused work each week.
“I consider working with Yana to be one of the most significant gifts I’ve given myself to support my full journey as an artist. I found Yana through one of her classes, and immediately connected to her vision, her approach, and her style. I began working with her since July 2023, and I can honestly say that I’ve grown more as an artist during this time than I have after years of instruction with other teachers.”
