Every artist that I've known (myself included), has had a desire to do better in their work and go beyond the bounds of their creative limitations. At times this can feel daunting or even impossible, but it's important to remember that drawing is a skill; and skills can always be honed and improved upon. There are simple and practical steps you can take to make your drawings better, and this class will help you do just that.

This course will be centered on improving your portrait photography abilities to convey mood, feeling, and emotions. We will do this by exploring how to plan, shoot, and edit original portraits.

This portrait drawing course will teach you how to draw beautiful, realistic portraits that capture the subject's likeness.

Learn to draw diverse portraits with a fun sketchbook practice! Capturing the personality, expression and mood of a human face can be a challenging subject to master for artists.

But most importantly we'll enjoy the time we set up for ourselves for drawing!
