My online courses will help you to find the portrait artist in you. I take you through each stage of my unique approach from the importance of having the mindset to getting things in the right place and working with charcoal. The courses are available online 24x7.
Lots of helpful information on making Portraits, inspiration, my mindset rambles (which sometime become rants haha) and member discounts fo my courses and wrokshops.
Keep up-to-date with what I'm doing. Follow my page and you'll be notified when I go live (Mondays and all the other times) you can also access all my recorded video demonstrations.
You offer us your personal objectives in terms of drawing. So many things you say resonate with me, you've definitely released my inner demons. I feel a lot calmer with my drawings now, even commissions. I'm now waking up at 3am thinking about drawing, not out of panic as before, but eager to begin!! Thankyou Tony

Drawing at arm's length and working on a fairly vertical canvas. I'm noticing it is easier to "tick in" when farther back from the canvas for sure. I am fond of just "drawing what you see" as you say. I have heard this skill downplayed by academics and I have always scratched my head at this. I think being able to draw what you see well is THE skill to have. I love your program and your portrait drawing

I have to say, after watching Tony draw with both charcoal and oils, I have never been as inspired! If you have the desire to ‘enjoy’ your creating of portraiture and get incredible, accurate art, you should give this program and Tony a try. You will not be disappointed! After just four charcoal portraits, my accuracy and joy have increased tenfold! He teaches in such a way, that I get it; it just clicked for me. I’m so impressed, and cannot recommend him enough.

Watching my favorite artist, Tony Swaby, as of late-- and just hearing him describe exactly what drawing has become for me has me all excited. I have literally prayed to become better at drawing and to continue to find this joy and escape in it. I have no doubt I was led to find this Tony as a *specific* answer to a prayer in this particular endeavor of mine.

I think the philosophy that you are putting across is superb.. You are showing people what you do.. And allowing them to do what they do.. Which is great.. I love the fact you're not teaching people to draw like you... I think that's important...
