4 Steps to better Portraits – The Joy of Portraiture

About Course

The aim of the course is to help you approach making portraits in a way that liberates your unique potential. It’s not about skills and techniques it’s about your mindset and approach. Your will accelerate your development and learn to master skills as a consequence of your creative intention.

Ultimately drawing portraits (or anything) is driven by your response to the subject. It isn’t defined by other people’s work or how they do it.

Each step is intended to be done over 1 week so you can absorb the process better.
