Where portrait painting begins to make sense.

 

Beginning portrait painting can feel complex at first. Many artists find themselves unsure where to start, or how to move from observation to a convincing likeness.

Without a clear structure, it’s easy to feel unsure of yourself.

This course is designed to remove that uncertainty.

The Portrait Studio Fundamentals, offers a thoughtful, step by step approach to building strong foundations. You’ll learn three main methodologies which will help with the foundations of simplifying the process, understanding proportions and structure, and developing a method you can rely on with confidence. The aim is not only to help you create successful portraits, but to give you a repeatable system that supports long term growth.

Throughout the course, you’ll receive clear guidance, practical tools, and a framework that allows you to track your progress. By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of portrait construction and a process that feels steady and manageable.

And there’s more to explore.

Your course access now also includes Refining the Portrait, an additional tutorial designed to help you take the next step in your portrait painting journey. Building on the foundations of blocking in the portrait, this tutorial explores how to develop a facial feature further through paint, working with form, values, and details to bring greater depth and definition to your painting.

If you’re ready to approach portrait painting with clarity and structure, this course provides a solid place to begin.

 
START PAINTING

HI, I'M RACHEL!

My journey in painting began in childhood, where I was mentored by the late Charles Cassar through my teenage years. That early foundation shaped both my technical discipline and my sensitivity to the human subject.

Alongside painting, teaching has always been a second passion. At the beginning of my professional life, I taught English, an experience that gradually led me into the field of learning and development. Over time, this evolved into consultancy and corporate training, where I worked with professionals on mindset practices, leadership, sales, and communication skills. I found the subject matter meaningful and intellectually engaging, however, training individuals within corporate structures was not something I envisioned as a lifelong path.

Choosing to return fully to art was a deliberate decision. I redirected my teaching experience toward what felt most authentic to me: painting and portraiture. Bringing together both strands of my career has allowed me to create a practice that is both creative and educational.

The human form has remained central to my artistic work, particularly through portraiture. I focus on capturing subtle facial gestures and emotional nuance, with the intention of conveying a mood, a message, or a psychological state. I am interested not only in what is expressed, but in how it is perceived.

I now work primarily from my home studio, balancing commissioned portraits with the development of my personal body of work, while also teaching art and portrait painting. Through both creating and teaching, I continue to explore the space between intended emotion and interpreted emotion, and how expression shifts within that exchange.
