You will receive portfolio reviews as necessary during your coaching experience. If you have a portfolio ready for feedback, your coach will look at it during your first session. Your coach will continue to critique your portfolio as you develop it, depending on your artistic goals. Typically, your portfolio is reviewed during your first session, then every six months thereafter.

Your student coordinator will work to match you with the best available coach for your needs. If you are unsatisfied with your assigned coach, reassignments are possible, but not always available.

NMA Coaches are either working artists or art education professionals who have been chosen as coaches based on their outstanding experience and knowledge. They include Iliya Mirochnik, Catherine Bobkoski, Bill Perkins, and many others.

Your coach will work to identify both your strengths and weaknesses during your sessions. One of the ways your coach will address your weaknesses is by assigning video instruction for you to watch from the NMA library. Additionally, your coach will give you images to practice with, but only enough to complete your assignment. With a Premium NMA subscription, you will have access to our entire library of more than 50,000 high-quality reference images to take your training to the next level. So while it is possible to sign up for coaching without an NMA subscription, it is highly recommended.

We’ve designed the Coaching Program to provide you with an adequate amount of time with your coach through one-on-one sessions, group sessions, and community chat. But if you feel like you need more time, it is possible to purchase additional one-on-one sessions.
