About this class
Learn how to build an expressive painted portrait using layered color and confident brushwork.
This class begins with a simple drawing and gradually develops the face using broad shapes, darker shadows, and carefully placed highlights. You’ll see how the hair, skin, eyes, and clothing can be developed without relying on overly precise rendering.
