Joy, tenderness, wish to conquer the worlds, tiredness, passion… Person’s facial expressions, pose, motions tell us about everything. Do you want to learn to paint a personality and emotion?

Together with the artist, we’ll learn the basics of painting a human, figure and face proportions. Using simple and volumetric objects, Anastasia will show what shadow, light and reflected light are, give practical tips for mixing colors for the skin and hair, answer the questions sent in by the viewers live.
