Live and in-person workshops are a wonderful way to learn, and they offer energy, momentum, and inspiration that many artists enjoy. This course was designed to offer something different — depth, clarity, and flexibility — while preserving the strengths of clear demonstration and thoughtful instruction.
In the Painterly Portrait Course, you’ll receive detailed, high-quality video demonstrations that allow you to see every decision unfold at the easel. Unlike a live workshop, you can pause, rewind, and revisit each lesson as many times as you need, giving you the freedom to learn at your own pace and truly absorb the material.
Because this is a self-study course, you’re not limited by schedules, time zones, or missed moments. You can return to specific techniques, exercises, and demonstrations whenever questions arise in your own work — whether that’s tomorrow or years from now.
This course also includes a comprehensive library of supporting resources, including reference photos, exercises, and more than 120 pages of written guides you can reference alongside the videos. Combined with lifetime access, this makes the course a lasting resource rather than a one-time experience.
If you value clear instruction, artist-tested processes, and the ability to learn deeply and revisit material as your skills grow, this course offers advantages that even the best live workshops can’t provide.
