1.PREPARE YOUR ARTWORK for video consultation
Before purchasing your video consultation, please prepare your artwork for submission. Take a clear, well-lit photo that accurately shows the colors, details, and overall look of your piece. When you submit your artwork, Alicja personally reviews each piece with a trained eye, considering composition, color, proportions, and overall expression. Based on her careful analysis, she provides tailored guidance and practical next steps designed to help you refine your work, improve realism, and strengthen your artistic skills. Every suggestion is drawn from her years of experience in painting, drawing, and teaching, ensuring that the feedback is both actionable and insightful. The resulting video gives you a clear path forward, highlighting what’s working well and where you can focus your efforts to grow as an artist. If you’re struggling with a specific part of your piece, you can include up to five focused questions for a single atwork (MONO option). When submitting two artworks (DUO option), you may include up to six questions (three per piece), and for three artworks (TRIO option), up to nine questions in total (three per piece).
If the content fits within the chosen consultation time, Alicja will address as many of your questions as possible during her review. Please make sure your notes are typed (not handwritten) and uploaded as a separate file together with your artwork.
This preparation ensures your consultation is personalized and the feedback video is clear, focused and practical.

Personalized Aquarelle ART
Alicja specializes in watercolor portraits, a technique known for its luminous transparency and subtle layering. Unlike opaque paints, aquarelle allows underlying tones to shine through ~ requiring precision, experience, and a refined eye for color harmony.
She offers two styles: monochrome and full color. While monochrome portraits evoke elegance through simplicity, full color pieces involve a complex layering process with custom-blended hues ~ making them more intricate and time-intensive.

Testimonials ˚
" I was impressed by how much I gained from such a short video consultancy with Alicja. Within 10 minutes she provided me with clear, actionable steps to improve my painting. Her explanations were concise yet full of depth ~ from refining composition and balancing colors to creating more convincing light and shadow. What stood out most was how tailored the advice felt to my own work, making it immediately applicable. Even though the session was brief, the insights continue to guide me in every piece I create. It showed me how powerful focused, professional feedback can be "
