Upcoming Classes

This class invites artists of all levels to explore the timeless art of portraiture through both drawing and painting. Together, we’ll study the structure of the human head, the subtlety of expression, and the nuances of color that bring a subject to life. Along the way, you’ll learn to capture not just a likeness, but a presence—refining your understanding of anatomy, improving draftsmanship, and mixing realistic skin tones with confidence. Whether you're just beginning or looking to deepen your practice, this course offers a supportive space to grow your technical skill and artistic voice.
