About This Mentoring Track

This special version of the Architecture Sketching Course combines the full content of the large course with a unique mentoring structure that gives you personal feedback and guided progression through all modules.

You’ll go step by step through the lessons, upload your artworks and assignments, and receive detailed comments and guidance from Sophia. Once your work is accepted, you’ll unlock the next section and continue your creative journey — learning through both instruction and personalized direction.

The course runs over three months of active mentoring. During this time, you’ll also take part in three live online meetings (one each month). In these sessions, Sophia will review students’ artworks, answer questions, and demonstrate how to solve specific artistic challenges.
If you can’t attend live — you’ll be able to watch the recording later.

After the 3-month mentoring period ends, you’ll keep lifetime access to all course materials (without mentoring).

What Makes This Format Special

💬 Personal feedback from Sophia — you’ll get specific, written comments on your artworks as you progress.
📷 Step-by-step unlocking system — new lessons open only after your work is reviewed and approved, helping you stay focused and consistent.
🎥 3 monthly live meetings — discuss your progress, ask questions, and see problem-solving demos based on student artworks.
👥 Private community — share your process, exchange feedback, and connect with fellow artists.
🕒 Clear time frame — 3 months of active mentoring to keep you motivated and on track.
📚 Lifetime access — after the mentoring ends, you can revisit all lessons anytime in self-study mode.

Your Teacher – Sophia Rodionov

I am a visual artist, working primarily in watercolor and mixed media art, I am also an founder of “CanotStopPaintingArt Studio” which specializes in wall decor in collaboration with interior design brands and architects. I have over 18 years of professional experience in art.

I have been painting and creating art since I was a child. I also attended art school. I enrolled in Chemical science high school as I wanted to be a scientist, but my heart was always dragged towards the arts, and I really missed it. I realized that I wanted to do what I actually love—art. I switched to studying fine arts, focused on Asian art studies, Japanese culture and arts, where I also learned Japanese calligraphy.
After university, I worked as an artist in a glass studio and designed wall art in a hotels. After I had my daughter, I opened my home studio and started working with international architects and designers on art projects.

I am here to support you and guide you on this beautiful, creative journey.

COURSE CONTENT

What You'll Learn

This course is designed around the core idea that architecture is not just structure—it’s contrast, rhythm, atmosphere, and story. Through 5 in-depth modules, you'll explore:

✅ Contrasts as the main artistic tool
✅ Linear and street perspective made simple
✅ Tonal values and light-shadow structure
✅ Unity of complex scenes
✅ Expressive watercolor + ink workflow
✅ How to sketch buildings, skylines, details, and street scenes

By the end of the course, you’ll feel much more bold and confident in creating architectural scenes — from simple sketches to complex cityscapes.
You’ll understand how to build visually strong and balanced compositions, how to use light and rhythm to lead the viewer’s eye, and how to bring architecture to life with emotion and movement.
Most importantly, you’ll gain the skills and independence to sketch and paint architectural scenes on your own — wherever you are, with your unique voice and style.
