Expressive Portrait Drawing with Soft Pastels

Fantastic course, great teaching style, I feel like I've learnt a lot and been left very inspired. Thank you!

Un curso recomendable para iniciarse en la técnica de los pasteles. Muy interesante el uso del color que utiliza en los retratos.

Nice basic course for pastels

I thought this course was fantastic. It was my first time with soft pastels, and I had tons of fun.

A good course specifically for pastels, particularly if you’re looking for discussion on colour and shade choices.

Excellent, I really enjoyed this course. Chris is a great pastel artist and teacher.

It was easy to follow with clear instructions with good pace. He goes through different techniques and also doesn't skip and also teaches how to complete and pack the art pieces. Awesome!

I had been looking for a course on soft pastels on Domestika, and there aren't many, so I was really happy when I found "Expressive Portrait Drawing with Soft Pastels." I am half-way done with the course, and I've been pleased with the way the material has been presented so far. I am a beginner, and it is still very accessible to me. As a result, I would recommend this course to those interested in learning about using soft pastels.

Chris is inspirational and walks through the steps of the creative process in its full entirety from start to finish with simplicity and thoughtfulness!

Good. I would have like more examples of colour (different colour schemes in the same piece).

This course has opened up the world of the expressive portraiture to me, and actually influenced the way I perceive this field. The course is both very technical and inspirational. Highly recommended!

It was a very good course for loose creative portraits. Instruction was very clear, and well planned out. Thanks to Chris for sharing!

Me gusta mucho su trabajo. Apenas lo voy a ver, espero aprender.

the teacher is clever, and lessons interesting, but I do prefer …. watercolour!

I enjoyed this course immensely. Very well structured. I inherited some soft pastels from a commercial artist. I typically paint portraits in oils. But after following chris’s course, I found using pastels to be so spontaneous and enjoyable. I’ve been able to finish portraits in pastels in a fraction of the time it takes me in oils. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to be spontaneous and expressive in their art. Thank you Chris and Domestika for another excellent course.
