What People Are Saying:

Chris, you've made a massive difference to my portraits in such a short time. Everything is explained so well that it makes it easy to follow. We're told why we do it rather than 'now do this'. Thanks so much!

Nigel Proud

I regard myself as an exceptionally unexceptional draftsman but can already sense some improvement in the way I'm tackling portraits. You're getting a LOT of information from a guy who knows what he's doing. And the demos - from blank sheet of paper to finished, fully rendered drawing - are both highly informative and inspirational. I'm not sure you can ask for more than that from any instructor. This course is a keeper! Many Thanks, Mr P for putting this together.

Dotty Morris

This is the best portrait drawing course that I have ever enrolled in. I have already taken several portrait drawing courses, but none of them reaches the teaching level and mainly the charism of the instructor, Mr. Petrocchi.

Aisha Smith

I have learned a lot from Mr.Chris and I have developed my skills with his great teaching and comments. The course will help you evolve your skills to the next level and you will learn the technique of Loomis and Reilly. If you follow the assignments and practice daily, you will grasp the knowledge very quickly and apply it to every portrait you draw.

I think Chris is a wonderful teacher. His instructions are detailed yet easy to understand. And he is full of encouragement. He totally understands the anatomy of head and body. I encourage everyone who is interested in improving portrait and figure drawing to enroll in his courses.

Margaret Chen

I LOVE this course. I’m an experienced artist (been drawing for over 30 years) and I’m learning so many new things. I love the pace. I love the exercises he establishes so you can see your progress by comparing your beginning drawing to the techniques you learn along the way. I would take every class this professor teaches. Hands down.
