Visual Development | Gouache Artist | instructor
I create shapes and paint stories — whether through gouache landscapes or cinematic worlds for animated films. As an art instructor in both gouache and digital painting, I am passionate about bridging fine art and animation together to help students become better painters and storytellers.
level up painting with my courses
This is a comprehensive course with over 20 hours of lessons covering the fundamentals of composing and designing with shapes, values, color, edges and texture through studying the masters and plein air painting.
Learn at your own pace and time!
In this course taught by Mike Hernandez and Tiffanie Mang, you will learn how to plan the overall design of your painting through matrix studies and free yourself from being tied to every detail in a photo. You will also learn how films use color to shape emotion and mood --- and how to bring that same power into your paintings. Mike will demonstrate how to use the gamut mask tool to design unique, harmonious palettes and apply that in a digital and gouache painting.

Essentials of Cinematic Lighting is for intermediate to advanced painters who want to learn how to use light and color cinematically to support mood and story. We go deep into notan, value keys, three point lighting, and color psychology, all studied through the lens of real film and animation. I built this course from the inside out, drawing on years of experience as a color key artist to give you the same tools and ways of seeing that I use every day in professional animation.
