Your one next step
Upload a photo of your painting in progress. Get one calm, specific thing to focus on next — nothing more.
Not a list of corrections. Not a score. Just the one thing a good teacher would tell you to focus on right now.

How it works
Upload
A quick phone photo of your painting in progress — no scanning needed.
One step
The coach looks at your work and gives you one specific thing to focus on next.
Come back
Paint. Make progress. Upload again. Each session moves you forward.
There's a deliberate order to the feedback. Construction first. Values next. Color last. Beginners improve faster when they fix one thing at a time — and fix it in the right sequence.
Example Response
