Learn how to create beautiful, layered, magical portraits! I’ll take the fear and guesswork out of how to draw faces.  I can teach anyone at any level how to draw a simple face, take what you already know, and add layers and depth to bring your portraits to life!  You will learn simple techniques for drawing a proportionate face, how to create shading and highlights, how to add skin tones with different mixed-media techniques, how to add texture & dimension, and how to express your unique voice and style.
