Explore how a few carefully chosen colors can bring a face to life. This approachable introduction to portrait painting begins with a front-facing reference and a limited palette.

Artist Kristina Dubrovskaia will guide you step by step, helping you mix colors, build light and dark areas, and develop an expressive portrait study. You’ll receive individual feedback throughout, with space to experiment and make your own color choices.
