Portrait Painting Class






























Come and join me for classes on painting portraits. It's easier than you think! We will concentrate on shapes and patterns of light and shadow. Don't be intimidated by facial features, they are no different than any other shapes we paint. Individual instruction and freedom to work from your own references. I look forward to helping you conquer your fears and have fun too.
