Help Fund William's Art Education at Atelier Nadai

My name is William Schropp and I am an aspiring decorative artist. I attended the American College of the Building Arts, graduating class of 2023, where I was first introduced to the world of traditional decorative finishing, gilding, faux painting, and various plaster finishes. Currently, I'm working with Evergreen Architectural Arts as a gilder and painter, but I'm looking to expand my knowledge in the traditional methods of faux painting.

Atelier Nadai, run by renowned French decorative painter Michel Nadai, is one of the premier decorative arts schools in the world. I'm planning on attending the three month foundations course at the end of the year, focusing on faux marble painting, wood graining, and trompe l'oeil painting to expand my abilities and portfolio as a decorative artisan. I have some money saved up but am looking for any donations to help with travel, supplies, and accommodation expenses.

I would love to paint something beautiful for those that can help me on my educational journey when I finish the course!
