Self Portrait Painting School, check out this latest crop of graduates from Painting Yourself 101.

Expresso Portrait Painting in only two hours....

These people came for a Community Group set of classes thanks to the generous support of the Rotorua  Civic Arts Trust. 

None of them had ever made a portrait before and with my step -by- step instructions and demonstrations they all came out wth pieces to be proud of. 

The most important thing is they really enjoyed the classes and I  loved having them.

 It is great to teach people who arent afraid to give things a go and focus on having fun.
