Who is this class for:

If you're completely new to portrait painting, you may want to check out this class first: Drawing and Painting Portraits: A Guide for Artists. But if you just want to jump into painting with me, let's get going! All levels of learners are welcome in this step-by-step portrait painting class.

Why learn with me:

I've been drawing faces for over 20 years and I still love it as much as I did on day one! If you have a passion for drawing portraits too, or if you're looking to learn, I'd love to see you in this class.

Whether you're painting simply for the joy of it, or you want to pick up some new tips for your next commissioned piece, join in on the fun.

I've taught thousands of students how to improve their portrait work and I'd love to help you on your art journey too. Let me share with you what has taken me years of study to figure out.
