A Complete Portraiture Masterclass
This complete masterclass contains a portrait demonstration with over two-dozen short videos (3.5 hours of painting demonstration, PLUS eight additional modules coveing the fundamentals of design, composition, perspective, anatomy, color theory, and more. If you're looking for one comprehensive course on portrait painting, this is it.
A Holistic Approach to Portrait Painting
PLUS an 8-lesson module on how to build your confidence as you learn!
I created this course for all the painters out there who, like me, needed a thorough review of the foundational principles of painting — or needed something more from their painting instruction, something they felt was missing from their "school days."
Each module of the portrait code is a mini-course I would have loved to have had in my studio class days, to tie together what I learned in the studio with my 2-D design classes, art history, and anatomy studies.
My mission is to bring you a pain-free course to "connect the portrait painting dots" while building your confidence.

A Skilled and Supportive Instructor
Caroline is both a skilled and supportive instructor...Audrey and I both credit Caroline's early support and guidance with Audrey's success in the art world ... When asked to write a freshman essay about an artist that inspired her, Audrey chose not Banksy or Picasso, but Caroline. She has helped my daughter accomplish her dreams, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

Super Informative!
I took Caroline's class because I wanted to learn more about oils, brushes, mixing, colors, and drawing the face and hair.
I struggle in all areas, but now that I've taken the class, I'm more confident mixing facial colors and handling the brush. I would take a class with this instructor again.

Knowledgeable and Helpful
I took Caroline's class because I wanted to learn to paint my paintings instead of trying to "draw" my paintings.
She helped me become more confident about shading and mixing colors when I paint. Her class was just what I was looking for.
