No guesswork

Apply It
Draw what matters most.
Your portraits.
Your memories.
Your vision.

Become More
Drawing is the skill.
Confidence is the outcome.
You sharpen focus, patience, and vision. You’re never doing it alone.


You hand a portrait to someone you love.
They look at the drawing… then at you…and whisper:
“You… you drew this?”
And you smile — because yes, you did.
And that moment — when someone looks at your art with tears in their eyes — isn’t years away.
It’s few weeks away.
1 course project = 3–7 hours of drawing with me inside the program. That’s all.
From here you choose your path:
Weekly pace (1 drawing per week): In 6 weeks, you’ll confidently draw portraits of your loved ones on your own
Monthly pace (1-2 drawings per month): In 6 months, you’ll reach the same level — just slower, without pressure
Fast-win pace (first day): In the first 4–5 hours, you’ll draw your first lifelike practice portrait
The method stays the same. The pace is yours.
But the promise doesn’t change:
You’ll be able to draw lifelike portraits of your loved ones — and turn your own memories and travel moments into realistic drawings, completely on your own.
You’ll get personal mentoring on the landscapes and the portraits you draw — including the ones you create of your loved ones, not just the course projects.
We guide your lines, your shading, your proportions… so you never feel stuck.

Have you ever wondered how much it’s really worth to get personal feedback on your drawing?
Let us show you.


What happens when you get expert guidance exactly when you need it?
Here’s a real example.
One of our students recently drew a portrait of her granddaughter — a heartfelt gift meant to capture a precious moment.
Watch the video below to see a real mentoring session in action.
Right next to it, you’ll find the Before/After drawings, so you can see the transformation for yourself


Let’s be honest… when you draw a portrait as a gift, you want that “Wow… this really looks like me!” reaction.
Because a truly good drawing isn’t just a picture — it’s a gift from the heart, one that truly captures the person you’re drawing.
That’s what personal mentoring gives you: clear, precise guidance instead of guesswork — helping you capture likeness, emotion, and depth, even as a beginner.
Your drawings become more accurate.
Your portraits become more expressive.
And suddenly, your artwork becomes something you’re proud to give.
This is the power of mentoring — and the transformation waiting for you..

Lifetime course access + 1 year of personal coaching
Here's how it works:
1. Choose 2 courses from the program
2. Follow the videos step-by-step
3. Complete the drawings within the next 60 days
4. Upload your works to the designated community for mentoring - this way you'll get personalized feedback and see your progress.
If you're not satisfied with any of your drawings, or feel the program didn't deliver on its promise - send a simple email, and you'll get every penny back plus an extra $100 for your time. No complicated process. No interrogation. No "why".
There's only one condition:
Show us you actually completed 2 courses and uploaded your drawing to the community for mentoring.
Why do we offer this?
Because over the past 17 years, more than 30,600 students have learned with us.
And 99.6% of our students never ask for a refund - because they see the results in their own handiwork.
Our program doesn't work because we're smart.
It works because you follow the steps, upload your work, get personalized mentoring - and the steps work.
The risk is entirely ours. The pride is entirely yours.
P.S. - If you request a refund after 60 days, you can keep all downloaded PDFs and tool lists. Why? Because if you tried it, uploaded your drawings for mentoring, and it's still not for you - at least you should get something out of it. Fair, right?

I had wanted to learn to draw for a very long time, and I was happy to find your online course. The videos are fantastic and easy to understand. That’s how I was able to complete my very first drawing. I’m so happy that my first attempt turned out like this, even though I can see what isn’t perfect yet.

"...I started learning to draw at almost 69 years old!..."
"Before I began, I felt such a deep inner longing that it’s hard to put into words. Your materials provide so much new information and, most importantly, courage."

"...I never thought I’d ever be able to draw such a lifelike face!..."
"I was as happy as a little child and felt like I just had to show it off. :-) Just as it is, here and now!"
– Anna
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"...This is such a good exercise, thank you so much..."
I didn't find it quite easy to see through all the lines and shapes. But finished it to the end. I will not shade it with pencil, I will use alcohol based markers."
– Caro Lin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"...Thanks for the hair map, that helped a lot..."
I completed my first independent hair portrait. I first studied and practiced the hair strands on a copy before applying them to my own drawing, which made a big difference.
– Caro Lin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"...Very clear instructions — I could finally create a realistic portrait..."
Drawing the celtic knots is so relaxing - difficult at first, but flowed easily after a while. So much helpful information. Thank you.

You don’t need to learn to draw just to impress others.
You do it to find peace, focus, and confidence —
the kind that stays with you long after you put the pencil down.
Drawing isn’t the goal!
It’s the tool that helps you slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with yourself.
When you draw, stress fades.
Your mind quiets.
And something shifts inside you — patience grows, confidence builds, and you start to see beauty in the smallest details.
We’ve seen it happen thousands of times:
People who once said “I’m not talented” now draw calmly, proudly, joyfully —
not just better art, but better versions of themselves.
That’s what Valdor Art is really about.
Not perfection. Not competition.
But a more peaceful, fulfilling life — through drawing.
- Andrea
We teach a unique drawing method designed to help complete beginners create realistic drawings in just a few hours — instead of spending years practicing before experiencing their first real success.
Even if you currently feel like you can only draw stick figures, our step-by-step system is built to help you achieve visible results quickly, confidently, and joyfully.
The lessons are presented in English using an AI-generated version of my own voice. This allows me to teach you in English while keeping my personal teaching style and voice — without making you read subtitles while watching the drawing process.
Every drawing demonstration, lesson, and personal feedback comes from real human artists and teachers.
As a European art school, personal attention truly matters to us. We know you may not know our name yet — and that's exactly why we work so hard to earn your trust and help every student feel supported, encouraged, and successful.

Once you choose your bundle, your artistic journey begins immediately:
It’s that simple — start creating today!

Not at all! Our courses are designed for complete beginners — even those who have never drawn before. You’ll learn everything step by step, in a clear and structured way that makes realistic drawing achievable for everyone.
Even with just a few hours a week, you’ll start seeing noticeable improvement. Each artwork is designed to be completed in 4–8 hours, and with every drawing, you’ll understand more and feel more confident. Consistency is the key!
We don’t just show what to draw, we teach how to think like an artist. You’ll understand how to see shapes, light, and shadows differently — and once your mind learns this, your hands will follow naturally. That’s why our students succeed even after many failed attempts elsewhere.
Absolutely. You can learn anytime, anywhere, and rewatch the lessons as often as you like. And if you ever get stuck, you can share your drawings in our community and receive feedback from Andrea and the Valdor Art mentors — you’re never alone in this journey.
You’ll only need a few basic tools — simple pencils, erasers, and drawing paper are enough to begin. Each course includes a downloadable materials list, so you’ll always know exactly what to use.
There’s no catch — but the magic won’t happen on its own. You’ll need to put in a little time and energy. Each drawing takes about 4–8 hours to complete, and even if you create just one drawing a month, you’ll see incredible progress. The real magic lies in the small, consistent steps — that’s where your transformation happens.
Because it’s priced to keep you motivated — high enough to commit, but low enough to be accessible. We don’t want price to stop you from discovering what you’re capable of. This way, you invest in yourself — We want you to use it, not just buy it.
Yes, absolutely — and you can even keep the materials. If it doesn’t work for you, we don’t want to keep your money. The risk is ours — the progress is yours.
