This class is all about making portrait painting feel approachable and fun. You'll learn how to simplify the portrait process and pick up practical tips to help you build a consistent portrait painting practice. Each week, we’ll work from a new photo reference and explore a different color palette, breaking the process down into clear, repeatable steps.

Demonstrations will be done in oil paint, but acrylic painters are welcome to join. No previous portrait experience is needed, but some basic painting experience is recommended.

Kelly is a photographer turned painter. You can find more of her work here: www.kellycottingham.com/painting
