- Melodie L., Tier 2 Portraits Workshop with Ann

"The workshop transformed my two regular days in two rich and passionate days. Because Ann is passionate and generous so her teaching has such a fresh style that I am thinking to take it again."

Young Emiko with Ann Kullberg

When: July 20 & 22 (8:00 am - 1:00 pm Pacific Time)
Instructor: Ann Kullberg
Cost: $125

About the class: It’s a portrait class – with lots of hair! That’s right, if you’ve taken Ann’s Tammy Workshop, you know that hair is barely covered in class, if at all, because we’re so busy working on layer after layer of skin tones. The beauty of Emiko is that her skin tones are mostly very light and are finished up quite quickly, leaving lots of time for working on that thick, lustrous hair and those liquid eyes. Formerly, the workshop was only available on one of Ann’s Cruise Workshops, but with cruises on hold, we’ve decided to bring it to you live as a Pajama Class!

Before class, each student will upload two photos they think are potentially great reference photos and each one will be dissected in class.
