Another truism is painting mistakes are generally drawing mistakes. As a figurative painter, I can tell you this is an infallible truth. Master your drawing now and save yourself heartbreak later. It is quite disillusioning to spend weeks and months on a painting and as it nears completion all of those drawing errors begin to emerge and take center stage.

The central focus of the collection is our best-selling Mastering Portrait Drawing 1 & 2 DVD workshops. These workshops will lay the solid foundation and be your eternal reference material for improving your portraits year after year. (You won’t absorb it all the first time).

You see as you get more advanced your perception becomes more sensitive, your hand-to-eye coordination improves, your ability to judge distances get more accurate, your skill at handling materials excels, your eye becomes more critical in judging errors.

Whether you are at the beginner or advanced level the method of drawing portraits remains the same - but over time and with practice, your experience, knowledge, and skill grows ever more refined and the process will become faster, easier, more natural and fluid and much more confident and proficient.

This takes time, diligence, dedication and patience to achieve. But you get to decide how far you want your artwork to go - whether as a hobbyist or a professional. That’s the beauty of having this collection as your permanent reference as opposed to doing the odd workshop. It’s there to guide you on your journey in the years to come, day by day.

As the Chinese proverb says - the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - such is your odyssey to portrait mastery. This journey, however, never ends. There is always room for improvement, no matter what level you achieve. Studying fine art is endlessly stimulating, challenging, fun, exciting - an adventure of the highest magnitude without even having to leave your home or studio. I hope you will join me on this incredible journey and let me be your guide.

Plus a free bonus with this free bonus! Drawing from Photographs This PDF book shows you how to take professional quality portrait photographs using both high end professional equipment and a very low cost alternative approach. Plus the problems with working from photographs and their solutions. This is a $19.95 value.

Consider what it costs to hire and photograph a model: first, the average model fee for just one hour is $85 (and that's on the low side); plus the cost of just one roll of professional film is $10; plus another $15 to develop the roll at a professional lab; plus another $10 for just one 8x12" enlargement. It would cost you a minimum of $120 for each model. And I haven't even begun to address the cost of professional lighting equipment, that's a few thousand dollars just to get started. Oh yeah, plus the studio costs. It just goes on and on. Just print out these high resolution, 8x10 photos on your inkjet printer or take them to your local film developer or drugstore. And practice diligently what I teach you. An indepth and thorough knowledge of facial anatomy is critical to your development as a portrait artist. Included in the Portrait Drawing Mastering Collection is the Atlas of Facial Anatomy CDr and my 1-hour DVD Drawing the Skull. Also included in the Portrait Drawing Mastery Collection are four CD-r's jam-packed with a whopping 32 portrait drawing tutorials on how to structure the nose, mouth, eyes and ears. How to render hair is another popular tutorial. To get this much training in an art school course you would have to attend class once a week for over 7 months! This is a $250 value by itself.

And best of all, if my Portrait Drawing Mastery Collection does not meet every one of your expectations I will refund your money. In fact, you have an entire year, 365 days, to decide if this workshop really taught you how to draw.
