Unlike many courses that only focus on theory or provide rigid step-by-step instructions, this course blends theory, practice, and reflection seamlessly. You’ll gain valuable insights from each lesson, immediately apply them through hands-on painting studies, and then reinforce what you've learned during concise review sessions. This integrated, three-part approach ensures the knowledge sticks, building your confidence as you see real improvement with each stage. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your skills, this course is designed to help you progress naturally and effectively.

We recommend working through the course over 12 weeks to fully absorb the material and complete all six portrait paintings. This structured approach allows you to progressively build your skills with each step and portrait painting practice. However, results can vary. You may start seeing improvements right away, especially if you follow the course in sequence. On the other hand, jumping around the course may delay your progress. Some students find that repeating certain portrait paintings and focusing more thoroughly on specific steps helps solidify their skills and achieve better results.

You don't need any prior experience at all. We start from the very basics and slowly advance, making it easy enough for a complete beginner and a great review for advanced artists—and everyone in between.

In the painting demonstrations, I use acrylics, but the process I teach works equally well with both acrylics and oils. Whether you prefer one medium over the other, you can follow along seamlessly. In the course, I’ll extensively cover the materials needed and provide a detailed materials list with recommendations tailored to your budget, ensuring you have everything you need to create stunning portraits, no matter which medium you choose.
