Target Audience
- In this course, I explain things from beginning to end. My technique for pastel portraits is extremely specific; I do things differently than the typical pastel technique, so to me, it is important to explain the whole process of why I do what I do and how I do it. This means both beginners and advanced people will learn from my course.
