Pastel Pencil Portraits for the Total Beginner by Portrait Artist, Paula Mahoney
Think you could never draw or paint a portrait? This class is for you!
Designed specifically for the SUPER beginner and total novice, this approachable class with artist Paula Mahoney will introduce you to the art of portraiture using pastel pencils—an easy-to-control medium that’s perfect for learning.
Paula will guide you step-by-step through the process, breaking portrait painting down into simple, manageable techniques. You’ll learn how to look at shapes, proportions, light and shadow, skin tones, and facial features without getting overwhelmed by all the “rules” of portraiture. You will have a pre sketched portrait to work on.
No drawing experience. No painting experience. No artistic background required. If you can hold a pencil, you can take this class!
The goal isn’t perfection—it’s learning to really see a face, understanding how a portrait comes together, and discovering that creating a recognizable portrait is much more achievable than you might think.
Come ready to learn, experiment, and surprise yourself. You may walk in saying, “I could never paint a portrait,” and walk out saying, “I did that!”
