***What* *will you learn***?

After receiving your fundamental training, you'll complete a series of drawings designed to teach you a process to creating a drawing step by step. The projects will get increasingly more complex as the course progresses to build on those skills. Your final project will be a portrait

"I’ve meticulously designed the techniques and processes taught in this course to help you progress quickly and get to enjoy drawing"!

-Joseph Patric Daniels

Send this course as a gift

Go at your own pace!

This is a guided course, that means after you receive your fundamental training, we’ll do over 8 hours of drawings + video exercises together- so I can teach you what I learned going from a complete beginner to getting a Masters Degree in Fine Art, as well as the knowledge I’ve accumulated from over 25 years working professionally as a fine artist and illustrator.

"You’ll learn time honored drawing techniques combined with contemporary approaches I’ve adapted by masters like Peter Paul Rubens, Leonardo Davinci and William Adolphe Bougereau, as well as modern masters like John Singer Sargent and Chuck Close!"

-Joseph Patric Daniels

Minimal requirements!

All you need are some basic drawing tools to start, like paper and pencils. All levels will benefit, even complete beginners! The course begins with fundamentals, then increases technical skills for intermediate and advanced drawing.
