I’ve worked with countless companies and poured my art onto just about everything.

Yep, my art has been everywhere and I have created LOTS of it in my over 40 years of concurrent design experience. I always worked 2 jobs! It's in my nature. With all that under my belt, I KNOW I can show you SO MUCH!
I’ve packed all my experience into a super-organized, easy-to-follow program that breaks down your favorite software in a way that actually makes sense. Andddddd, it's project oriented, so you will have fun while you're learning and have art to show for your efforts!

TESTIMONIALS
I will let my students speak for me…

Delores,
I wanted to express my appreciation for all your help in mastering Procreate. You are such a
wonderful, patient and encouraging teacher. I just can't say enough about what a great teacher you are. All those decades keeping teenagers focused on fun ways of learning software - has given you a very special touch - and I am so very glad you are teaching us adult learners now.
Since discovering your classes, I have just learned so very much more about Procreate. It has helped me to take my artwork to new levels.
I feel your help has really been the impetus I needed to put some artwork out into the world. Especially motivating for me since every completed class ends with a finished project - these are some that have made it onto my greeting cards.
Your knowledge of the industry, and constant gentle prodding to put things on mockups and get them up for sale, is really the reason I now have 286 greeting cards on POD - and I am happy to say that this year I have sold 577 cards so far this quarter.
Thank you so much - for sharing your skillful teaching with all of us.

When I began focusing on my art as more than a hobby, I looked for advice from every corner of the internet as well as some local groups. I watched videos, talked to other artists and joined Skillshare. It was on Skillshare that I found Delores. Her classes could not have come at a better time and so I joined her school and membership to get even more.
Unlike other artists and teachers out there, she has been doing this all her life. That makes her art relevant, versatile and trendy. She is incredibly gifted but more importantly, she gives of herself, her talents and her time to help make others better. She is available to answer questions and provide assistance as group coaching or individually.
I cannot say enough about how much I have grown as an artist after working with her. I have learned multiple ways to create art that actually sells and I have gained the confidence to do my own thing, my own way with my own style.
If you have the budget for only 1 instructor to help you with your art or your art business, choose Delores. It will be worth every penny you invest.
