Come learn how to capture both the physical and emotional essence of your portrait subjects. With expert teaching artist Anne Pfeiffer, the class combines skill-building exercises, an exploration of portrait artists' techniques, and hands-on practice with live models and photo references. You'll develop your own style -- expressive or realistic or both, and come away with a collection of notes, exercises, sketches, and a few polished portraits to showcase your growth.

Prior experience with observational drawing, such as still life studies, is recommended. This course is an ideal next step for students who have completed a drawing course or have equivalent experience.
