Portrait Video Series Part 1: Essentials to Ann's Portrait Techniques

As a painter in acrylics, I expected more instructions as opposed to the basic discussions on choice of paper, pencils, rubbers etc but I understand now that this knowledge is vital to any serious involvement in this branch of art. A set of pencils were a gift to me and I needed some ideas on how to use them. Do you think parts 2 & 3 of the series would be

Part one was less then 30 min long and just covered info I already had from her print tutorials I had purchased. Is there an outline on Parts Two and Three that would tell me if I already have that info as well? I have just signed up for Ann’s October 2020 3 day $195 Workshop and any way I can prepare myself to get maximum benefit from that workshop would be valuable. Thanks, April

If you are not English mother-tongue the audio for a great part of the video is terrible and you can not understand what Ann says. The parts of the video with practical examples and not with slides are different "subvideos" and the audio, there, is much clearer and you can understand everything.

When I first started the video, I was a bit dismayed that this session was covering the basics. Why would I need that, since I thought I pretty much already had the "basics" down. But as I got further into the video, I began picking up tips (and very important ones) that I hadn't realized was missing from my drawing how-to's. The section on the value view was worth the cost of the lesson all by itself! I will soon be purchasing the second session and can't wait to see what hefty diamonds I will glean from that one. Great job, Ann!!!

What a fantastic way to have Ann in your living room!
