The new cohort for 2025 begins on June 23th, 2025. However, the course is self-paced, giving you control over your own learning journey! 😊

However, to keep cohort engagement and ensure everyone has access to the latest information at the same time, new sections are released every Monday, with a few exceptions. So, while you can progress at your own speed, you'll still receive the fresh content regularly.

Content Delivery:

• New sections are released weekly, but feel free to progress at your own speed. There's no pressure to finish everything within a week.
• Weekly live Office Hours: Ask questions, get help with projects, and connect with other students.
• Community Circle: Join challenges, the Bonus Monday Office Hours (2025 cohort only), interact with peers, and seek further support.

Typical Completion Time:

• The course typically takes 8-12 months to complete (depending on your schedule constraints), but many students spend over a year with the material. Some alumni students revisit the curriculum every year or so.

Access Options:

• Depending on your chosen access level, you'll have access for 1 year or lifetime access to the course material.

Learning Pace:

• New lessons are released weekly on Mondays. Some modules require more time, while others can be consumed quickly.
• You can work through each module as released, wait and tackle content in batches, or approach it however suits your learning style.

Community Engagement:

• Many past students actively participate in the Tuesday Face Value Office Hours. These meetings are fantastic for accountability, Q&A, live critiques, and connecting with others to share struggles and wins! :)

We want you to be completely satisfied with your learning experience. 

If, within 14 days of the course launch on June 23th, 2024, you find the course isn't a good fit, simply contact us. We offer a full refund, no questions asked.

Additional Considerations:

• While we offer a 14-day refund window, we encourage you to explore the course materials and the new  community/Office Hours before making a decision. Preview videos, testimonials, and course outlines can help you understand if this program aligns with your learning goals.
• If you have any questions or concerns after the 14-day period, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to help!

While the course unfolds week-by-week to foster a dynamic learning experience, you're not passively waiting for new information. Here's why this structure is beneficial:

1. Cohort Learning & Feedback Loop: You're part of a supportive community of fellow students, learning together and sharing insights. This creates a vibrant exchange where my instruction adapts to your real-time needs and questions.

2. Weekly Engagement & Accountability: Similar to a college course, regular releases keep you engaged and motivated. This structure promotes consistent progress and helps you avoid overwhelm.

3. Dynamic & Tailored Learning: The weekly format allows me to incorporate your feedback and questions, making it constantly evolve and improve. This ensures you receive the most relevant and up-to-date information on CP portrait techniques. 

4. Journey, not Destination: Mastering portraiture takes dedication and practice. The weekly approach mirrors the natural learning process, enabling you to build skills step-by-step and solidify your understanding.

Remember, this program isn't just about access to information, it's about transformation. 

By the end of the year, you'll be a confident and skilled portrait artist, having embarked on this journey with a supportive community and continuous learning opportunities.

Your access depends on your chosen option:

1. Growth Access is the Yearly Access: You'll have full access to the course materials for 1 year from your purchase date. Actually 395 days: We add an additional 30 days. This includes all existing content and any new modules released during that period.

2. VIP Access is the Lifetime Access: If you choose lifetime access, you'll have unlimited access to the entire course, both during the cohort release times and to future content. Dive in, learn at your pace, and revisit the materials whenever needed!

Beyond the Initial Period:

• Ongoing Support: Even after your access period ends, you can explore additional support options to continue your artistic journey.
• Course Expansion: The Face Value Course is constantly evolving, with new modules and resources added regularly. Lifetime access ensures you can benefit from these ongoing updates.

Remember: You have access options to the new Face Value community that allows for more learning and growth.

Absolutely! FACE VALUE is designed to guide artists of various skill levels, including beginners. However, to ensure you get the most out of the course, here's what to consider:

Are you comfortable with basic drawing skills? If you've never picked up a pencil before, we recommend practicing some fundamental drawing techniques first. This could involve drawing simple shapes, lines, and shading exercises for a week or two before diving into portraits.

Why is this important? FACE VALUE builds on a solid foundation of understanding values and head construction, which lays the groundwork for successful portraiture. Starting with basic graphite exercises can significantly enhance your learning experience in the course.

Don't worry, though! FACE VALUE begins with graphite exercises, so you'll develop this foundation even if you're new to drawing. However, having some prior practice can make the initial steps smoother.

Remember:

• Beginner-friendly: FACE VALUE guides you through the process regardless of your experience level.
• Solid foundation: Prior practice with basic drawing techniques can accelerate your progress.
• Gradual learning: The course starts with graphite exercises to build your understanding of value.

Ready to embark on your portraiture journey? Enroll in FACE VALUE today!

While we may offer FACE VALUE again in the future, it's unlikely to happen this year and certainly not at the current price. Here's why:

A Unique Opportunity: It's been over a year since we last opened enrollment, and this iteration is exceptional. With a small class size, personalized support, a new community, and private one-on-one mentoring, we're fostering a vibrant learning environment for dedicated artists like you. 

Unmatched Value: FACE VALUE isn't just a course; it's an entirely immersive experience. It's an investment in your artistic evolution. The curriculum is constantly improving with new content, resources, and features based on student feedback. There is no other program like this one.

Limited-Time Offer: This is your best chance to join FACE VALUE at its current price. Don't miss out on this transformative learning experience and the supportive community waiting for you.

If you'd rather wait this time, then we'll open the waitlist at some time in the future. 

Absolutely, learning is a social experience! While the course includes valuable pre-recorded video lessons and downloadable content, you'll have multiple avenues for interaction and support:

1. Group Chat & Work Sharing: Each week's lesson features a dedicated space for group chat discussions. Ask questions, share insights, and receive feedback from your fellow students. You can also upload your artwork for critique and encouragement, fostering a supportive learning community.

2. Weekly Live Office Hours: Join exclusive live Zoom sessions every week. Get real-time guidance, ask questions, and connect with me directly. These sessions are recorded and available for later review at your convenience.

3. Bonus Office Hours:

• Growth (Yearly access): You have access to additional bonus Office Hours (in addition to Tuesday Office Hours) every Monday, providing even more opportunities for personalized feedback and Q&A.
• VIP (Lifetime access): Maximize your learning with exclusive Friday bonus Office Hours. Enjoy dedicated time for in-depth discussions and personalized support.

New for the 2025 cohort!

• Face Value Community (FOCUS community): Join an exciting new community launching in May, specifically designed for personalized feedback and ongoing support. Get expert guidance, share your progress, and connect with fellow artists on a deeper level.

Remember: Whether you choose yearly or lifetime access, you'll have a wealth of resources at your fingertips. With interactive elements, live sessions, bonus support options, and the upcoming Face Value Community, you'll never feel alone on your artistic journey! 😊
