Regardless of your skill level you can benefit immensely from interacting with a mentor.

At a beginner’s level you can rapidly get a grasp on essential concepts by seeing them live and explained by experts. As a more experienced level you will see fast improvements in your areas of interest by learning advanced concepts in the company of an expert.

A mentor will be able to help you assess your skills and together you can find areas in your skill set that you want to improve upon.

Robert Cornelius

  • Featured artist on Shift Art, February 2016
  • Number of tutorials on Shift Art: 3 (plus numerous speed edits)
  • View Robert’s Shift Art Gallery

Robert’s attraction the world of fantasy began when he was a child in Ohio, spending hours doodling on the waitress pads in his parent’s pizza restaurant. That, coupled with time spent with his sister exploring the forest around his grandparent’s house, fueled his imagination and led to the incredible, fantastical work he produces today. He has always been compelled to create art, and was fortunate to begin learning Photoshop in high school. His job as a photographer puts him in the unique position of being able to create art using primarily his own photographs. He currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife, Sara and his dog, Gilmour.

 

Clinton Lofthouse

  • Featured artist on Shift Art, February 2017
  • Number of tutorials on Shift Art: 2 (plus numerous speed edits)

Monsters and ghouls, and Hockney… from a young age, Clinton Lofthouse has been inspired by horror movies, fine art, and everything in between. He takes in everything around him and transmutes it into polished, fantastical imagery. As a boy, he would draw grisly comics with pen and ink. In 2011 he took on photography, at which point he quickly realized he needed Photoshop to make the kinds of images he wanted to create. Self-taught through books and online video, his adage is to practice a half an hour every day to master Photoshop. In his spare time, he may grab his camera to add more images to his stock library, or perhaps explore the English landscapes that are steeped in such rich history.

 

Caroline Julia Moore

Caroline has been making art since childhood. Over the years, she has employed many types of media, including writing, ink drawing, painting, multimedia art, digital art and photography. Her unique perspective on the world developed further with a psychology degree at Goldsmiths University in 1991. For the next decade, she focused on neuropsychology and the study of language using functional imaging. Her fascination with neuropsychology influences are apparent in her artwork. She now lives in Dorset with her 3 children, and four cats. She has exhibited in several venues in West Dorset.
