When I first started learning digital painting, I found it difficult to navigate the overwhelming amount of scattered resources available online. As a beginner, I lacked a structured process, which made it challenging to grasp the fundamentals of creating immersive environment scenes.

After years of practice and working in the professional industry, I’ve developed my own streamlined techniques that make learning more efficient and approachable. Now, I want to share that knowledge with you so you can progress faster and with more confidence—something I wish I had when I was starting out.

"Exploring Backgrounds & Digital Paintings" is designed as a step-by-step journey, guiding you from the foundational concepts to fully realized environment paintings. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this course will help you take your background digital paintings to the next level!
