Create A Portrait Painting With No Drawing
Portraits can seem intimidating, especially if you don't think you can draw. This Foundation Class will show you a completely different approach.
Using image transfer techniques and mixed media layering, you'll create a beautiful portrait painting without needing any drawing skills. I'll guide you step by step through the entire process, sharing the techniques, materials, and creative decisions that bring the artwork to life.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced mixed media artist, you'll discover that creating expressive portrait artwork is far more achievable than you might imagine.

What Will You Learn?
Studio Reflection
Creativity begins the moment you believe you can.
Some of the things we think are beyond us simply require a different way of approaching them. Don't let the fear of drawing stop you from discovering the artist you're becoming.
This Foundation Class is perfect for anyone who has always wanted to create expressive portrait paintings but felt held back by the thought of drawing.
Whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced mixed media artist looking for a fresh creative approach, I'll guide you step by step through every stage of the process with clear demonstrations, practical techniques, and advice on the materials you'll need.
By the end of the class, you'll have the confidence to create your own portrait paintings, along with new techniques and creative approaches that you can continue using in your future artwork.
Above all, I hope you'll discover that creating beautiful portrait art isn't about being able to draw—it's about having the courage to create.
