AND TO HELP yOU DEVELOP YOUR ARTISTIC SKILLS…

I’m now introducing painting courses that show you how to observe, find the essence of what you’re looking at, keep it simple…and know when to stop. Check out my creative portraiture course, Create Faces!

 
 

Create Faces

A 5-week, video-based, online, creative portraiture course. Look at faces differently, discover techniques to loosen up, try new things, and focus on the joy of creating, rather than the outcome. Learn an approach that improves your portrait painting skills, and increases your confidence to paint whatever you want, as creatively as you dare. The more you explore, the more you connect to your unique style…and express your authentic self.
