Our online portrait drawing course is made up of self-contained 12-week terms, each focusing on a different aspect of portrait drawing. Each month we release a new pre-recorded lesson to Patreon so that you can follow the course as it goes, practicing from our sets of portrait reference photos, recorded portrait sittings or live Zoom events. All of the lessons are saved to our archive, so you can join the course at any time and follow at your own pace - have a look at the course overview HERE or have a read through the FAQ below.
