Sabra walks you through every step of the painting from colour mixing to end. Very informative. Recommend her class highly. Parvin Ghamsari@parvin.ghamsari There is something special about Sabra. Her artistry is rich and deep and haunting. Her teaching is centered and thorough and her presentation quite calming. There is simply no one quite like her out there. It is a pleasure to study with her. Maxine Schutter@mschutter Sabra’s art is masterful, her teaching style smooth. She goes at an easy pace, explains thoroughly, while expanding your confidence and skills. She creates magic! Thank you, Sabra! Leah Griffith@leah.griffith.96 Love Sabra’s classes. The right amount of information so that you learn and yet have room for your own style. She is so thoughtful and generous! Helen Moreda@helen.moreda Sabra has such style, in her art and her demeanor! She offers thoughtful instruction, with details and depth. Highly recommend! Ann Rudd@ann.rudd.10 Previous Next
Thank you for being here
This workshop is much more about the actual process of creating a work of art, than it is about the end result.
Every now and then I feel a little stuck in my creative flow; I get worried, stressed even, about having to produce a certain style or level of work. I forget that my best work was made with a sense of freedom. That may feel like an ‘accident’ but it’s really not.
Be able to shift your focus back towards the process and away from any pressure regarding the end result, takes practise. I can’t say I find it easy or natural, even. But you relate to the situation I described, this might just be the thing you want to practise and add to your creative toolbox
In over 1.5 hours of video I will guide you through the process of layering paint, starting with big, bold strokes and refining your portrait as you go.
If you’d like to learn more about what this workshop is about, read on!
Much love, Sabra

1. Underpainting
We create a dynamic underpainting using Burnt Sienna and acrylic medium.
2. Shadows
For more depth, we going to use Burnt Umber to create shadows and details.
3. Mid tones
We mix a grey mid tone and add structure and expression to the face.
4. Glazing
With our previous paints, we add more detail (and voilá, a bit of drama as well) to our portrait.
5. Final layers
Pushing the contrast, or adding more texture; it’s up to you to decide!

A workshop is generally shorter than a full course. It focusses on a specific technique and palette. Usually you can finish a workshop project in a few days.
When you register for any of my online workshops, you can login to you account here my website. From your account, you can access any course you’ve purchased. No need to get up or go out! 🙂
Your account and courses are private; that means only you can access them. You can access your available lessons any time that suits you. That also goes for lesson information, supply lists and reference photos. It’s all well organised in your course environment.
How can I access the videos and view the materials?
You can always access your course or workshop by logging in at my website. In the navigation menu, go to “My account” and you will see your purchase there.
You can watch the videos in my dedicated learning environment. Just make sure you’re logged in and you can enter the class room! All materials and resources are also available on the course page.
Is this course/workshop suitable for beginners?
All my courses and workshops have a suggested level indicated. It’s meant as a way to let you know how much in-depth explaining is done during the course.
You are more than welcome to join any course at any level, no matter where you are in your art journey. Everyone learns differently! Some techniques may prove to be a challenge but I will explain it to you in a way that allows you to follow exactly what I’m doing. There are several drawing guides that you can print out, to help you no matter your level.
Please keep in mind that learning is a process. A beginner will need different guidance than an experienced painter. Don’t feel discouraged if you’re not able to master some techniques at once. Art is a skill you can hone and my art community is a safe and judgement-free zone where you can share your progress.
Do you provide feedback on my work?
When you do a self-paced course or workshop, you can ask any questions or share work in my private community! I also do regular Zoom meeting and livestreams that you can join!

Because my courses and workshops are instantly accessible I cannot grant refunds unfortunately. However, if you have an issue please do contact me and we’ll figure it out!
Do you have a payment plan available?
Unfortunately at this time I don’t offer any payment plans.
What does lifetime access mean?
Lifetime access means that the courses you’ve purchased will be available to you on this website for as long as I’m in business. Should that time ever end, I will inform you and give you plenty of time to download videos and materials that you want to keep.
I have a question. How can I contact you?
