What My Students Say

“I really enjoyed Pam’s portrait drawing class! She is encouraging, energetic and engaging!
She taught us to focus on big picture shapes first and then explore details later. Through her amazing demonstrations I learned to use height-width ratio for proper proportions, and light dark shadows to create the form of a face. I learned so much from Pam!
She impressed upon us that there is no substitute for practice, daily practice.”
“Pamela is an amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable and very experienced at instructing. She taught us the foundations and then always made time to give us one on one feedback on our work with tangible corrections.
I am looking forward to taking more classes with Pamela in the future. Please offer more classes with Pamela.”
“I liked how Pamela sent out a detailed weekly summary of our class, including photos.
She teaches with enthusiasm.
I feel that I learned the key components to drawing faces and I am confident that with time and practice I will improve.
Pamela is a gifted artist!”
