Discover the art of expressive portraiture - not through perfection, but through emotion, layers, and truth.
In this course, artist and teacher Kasia Avery guides you through painting female faces in multiple mediums. You’ll explore mixed-media portrait techniques while connecting with the emotional depth behind every face.
Explore the full spectrum of feminine energy - soft, bold, transient, raw, and unapologetic. Through mixed-media portraits, you’ll give form to emotions and aspects of yourself that often go unseen, allowing your creativity to become a mirror of your inner world.
Step into courage, confidence, and authenticity with your art. By painting expressive faces, you reconnect with the part of yourself that is powerful, tender, intuitive, and endlessly creative.
This is your invitation to honour your voice, your vision, and your inner muse - and to let your art reflect the richness of your own story.
What you'll learn:
Foundations of the Face
Start with the basics - proportions, structure, and simple sketches. You don’t need experience to begin: by the end of these lessons, you’ll be able to create expressive, confident sketches in three easy ways, even if you’ve never drawn a face before.
Loosening up
Through dynamic and playful exercises, you’ll explore the planes, values, and forms of the face. These lessons will help you paint with freedom, confidence, and authenticity — letting go of perfectionism and overthinking.
The Portraits
Dive into six in-depth, mixed-media portrait lessons — acrylics, watercolour, pastels, ink, graphite, and collage. Each session guides you step by step while encouraging expressive, soulful interpretation.

Classroom preview:
You’ll experiment with acrylics, watercolours, pastels, graphite, and collage, discovering how each medium can express a different side of yourself. Even if you’ve never drawn a face before, you’ll be able to paint and draw alongside Kasia.
This course is also a self-discovery journey. As you paint, layer, and create, you’ll reconnect with your intuition, your courage, and your inner strength - qualities that extend far beyond the page. Every portrait becomes a mirror of your own story, your emotions, and your growth.

A note from your Teacher
I believe that whenever we paint a portrait, we include a little piece of ourselves in it. That’s what inspired this course — I wanted to give you tools to celebrate who you uniquely are through the gift of your creativity. This course is the result of years of my passionate mixed-media portrait work in art journals. I hope you enjoy creating Portraits Within as much as I’ve enjoyed putting this course together.
