A minimalist curriculum with a complete pipeline
You learn a single pipeline that scales: reference → shapes → values → color → polish. The goal is not “more brushes”—it’s more control.
Today’s micro-practice

What you can do after the first month
Minimal doesn’t mean basic. It means every step has a job. You’ll know what to do next, how to judge your work, and how to iterate.
Create clean thumbnails that read
A simple value map beats a detailed sketch. You’ll learn to stage clarity first.
Paint with fewer, stronger decisions
Limit palettes and build a hierarchy. Your images become readable faster.
Finish artwork with a repeatable polish pass
Edges, accents, and export presets. A small checklist removes doubt.
Portfolio outcomes (realistic, not hype)
By the end of a track, you’ll have 4–6 finished pieces, plus process boards that show thumbnails, value passes, and final polish.
