Learn To Paint Portraits With Me!

:earn to paint portraits with me! I have been painting portraits for decades, demonstrating and teaching how to do good portraits in a painterly and colorful approach. My favorite things to paint are faces.  So many expressions that say so much with the smallest mark or brush stroke.  Just a tiny mark can change the entire dynamic of a portrait.  My approach to a canvas when creating anything is a loose underpainting and then close in on the details randomly around the face.  You never want to complete one piece of a portrait with fine detail while the rest of the canvas sits idle.  You will never be able to create an overall energy that resonates in all of the features.

Portraits are so very wonderful to paint.  It is the same format over and over, but always ends up being so wonderfully individual.

When I teach a class, with many students all creating the same portrait, it is amazing to see them all together.  Each one has a unique personality.  We alway put so much of our own personality into a painting.  That is what makes portrait painting so interesting.

I would love to have you learn to paint portraits the way that I do.  It is stress free and so informative.  You will be amazed at how much you learn in a one day session.  If you are interested in taking my one day portrait class CLICK HERE

The session is a full day starting at 10am, a lunch break and then completing the portrait ready to take home by 5pm.  I supply everything, even down to your apron.   You just need to show up.  My classes are smaller now for social distancing.  Click the link and you can sign up right online.
