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.

Her Talents Are Remarkable


I have the great fortune to know one of the people whose portrait Caroline painted. The painting captures her skin tones, hair color, and her facial features amazingly.  Even if I didn’t know her I truly feel I would recognize her in the street should I pass her, it is that good. Caroline did an exceptional job. Her talents are remarkable."

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.

If you are thinking about having a portrait painted of someone special, then Caroline is your artist


Caroline possesses the keen artist eye who can capture an image and have it magically appear on the canvas.

Although we never met in person, collaboration was easily accomplished through calls and emails, as Caroline accepted my suggestions and made adjustments until I was pleased with the finished work.

All of this happened in just a matter of a few weeks, from the original request until the portrait was delivered to my home. She has portrayed a particular moment in time that holds important meaning for me, and I can now share it with all who enter my home.

If you are thinking about having a portrait painted of someone special, then Caroline is your artist.

Everything you need and nothing you don't


This module is for anyone who wants to gain a thorough understanding of or refresher in portrait painting through a demonstration.

Initially part of the complete Portrait Code masterclass, I’ve had requests to also make this and many of the other modules available as stand-alone spotlight courses. So, here you go.

  • You’ll get a thorough demonstration 
  • See how I set up my palette and why each pigment I use in the demonstration was chosen.
  • And get running notes as I paint, including explainer animations and a continual swatch palette of what pigments are on my brush.
  • You’ll learn how to mix a variety of skin tone values and temperatures.

What I love about this demonstration course is that it’s efficient. 

All of my courses have voice-overs, so that you are not watching me paint or do anything second by second with long periods of dead air. I don’t want you passing out from boredom while you wait for some kernel of information.

I don’t want you falling asleep and I don’t want you thinking your audio is broken if there’s a short silent patch, but I’m not going to put you through listening to muzak while you watch me paint.

So some of the demo is live time speed, and some segments are sped up enough to sync the video with the audio. You are going to see everything you need to see to learn how to paint a portrait.

This course is all value. It’s the course I wish I’d had in college.

I made this course because I couldn’t find it in one efficient and easy-to-understand course.

I made this course for you.
