Hi, I’m Tracy!
I've been teaching students to loosen up and find joy through art for more than 20 years. When I was a kid I really believed that art was some kind of special gift only given out to a select few at birth. In my family it was my brother Jason who seemed to have the magic art gene. He would spend hours sprawled on the floor sketching and whenever I tried to do the same my work would inevitably end up in the bin.
It wasn’t until I was 33 that I joined a local art class and my whole world shifted. Within two weeks I had the epiphany that art wasn't just for the lucky few and that creativity encompassed all parts of ourselves, that creating things; art, gardens, stories, games etc. was actually our birthright and not only that, but spending time creating and making art could enhance EVERY single aspect of our LIVES!!
I started teaching way back then, gathering the neighborhood kids into my garden shed, and since then I have been honing my skills with a mission to bring more joy, more play, more confidence and more ease to the lives of my students (now from 70+ countries around the world!) through artmaking!
Painting faces has always fascinated me, so much so, that portraiture was my first love when I began making art. A few years back I created my extensive Face Fascination class which has already been taken by hundreds of students!
Many of you were still a little nervous to take the leap into such a large course and asked me to create something smaller, something you could dip your toes (and paint brushes) into, a taster to give you the confidence to go further…
So here it is!
Do the insides of your mind sound like this?
- My portraits look like a toddler made them...
- How did they get such expression? Where do I even start?
- Which materials should I use and what works with what? Are there any rules?
- How can I stop comparing my work unfavorably to others and paint with more freedom?
“For years, I’ve longed to take a painting workshop from Tracy Verdugo. Tracy is a beautiful and generous soul and a wonderful artist, who has a special gift for teaching visual art to people who don’t consider themselves visual artists... I’ve admired her devotion to teaching for YEARS. Tracy, you are a gift. Thank you for this day. I’m going to sleep with my fingernails caked with paint, and my imagination full of color.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert
Introducing...
A 5-part video course to help you overcome your fear of painting faces & increase your skill level and joy in artmaking!
The perfect online art class for artists of all levels who want to get in the flow and stay inspired!
You’ll learn how to:

(so you can stop comparing & find your own creative voice)
- Find beauty even in the messy bits
(without throwing your work in the trash)
- Blend tools and materials together in innovative ways
(throw out the rule book instead!)
- Focus on the joy in your paintings and your life!
(and clear those negative, critical vibes)
What’s Inside the Paint Faces with Freedom online class?
Lesson 1- Sketchbook
In this lesson we’ll use a variety of reference images and explore the freedom and beauty of continuous line drawing to begin to demystify the contours of the face.
Lesson 2- A Simple Line Portrait
In this lesson we use inspiration from our warm ups to create a stunning minimalist portrait using a limited palette.
Lesson 3- Loosening Up with Charcoal and Ink
In this lesson we get loose and let the ink and charcoal fly, and mingle. I’ll help you to see the beauty in allowing for spontaneity and letting go of trying to control every outcome.
Lesson 4- Stories Faces Tell
In this lesson we look at one way to create characters using torn pages from books as our substrate and nostalgic photos as our reference image.
Lesson 5- Quirky Characters
In this lesson we’ll have a blast with collage, inks, paint and pens to create quirky characters full of personality!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time is required?
Each video tutorial is between 20-35 minutes long so they are perfect to watch at any time during the day. However as the goal is to be as creative as possible, you’ll be wanting hours in your studio by the end of this!
Are there captions/subtitles?
Yes! The videos in this online course currently have English captions and Spanish subtitles.
I don’t have many art supplies. Can I still do these lessons?
Absolutely! While Tracy always has her favorite supplies, we want you to be open and adaptable and use what you have. Don’t have acrylic paints? Try doing the same tutorial with colored pencils and see what unique results you can get!
Having said that, here is a list of all the supplies Tracy uses in this art course:
- Sketchbook, sketching pencils, watercolor paper, various brushes, white gesso, various fluid acrylic paints, willow & compressed charcoal, paper towel, bamboo skewers, spray bottle with water, watercolor pencils or similar, various gel pens, white acrylic ink, matte medium, collage ephemera.
I already bought another one of your online courses. How is this different?
All of Tracy’s online classes are unique and completely different from one another. This course is both for artists who feel they cannot create successful portraits and for those who are just starting out. Tracy's aim is to provide inspiration and possibility thinking for all creatives!

Once you purchase this class it is for your eyes only. Please keep your login details to yourself but feel free to share our website and this offer if you think a friend would enjoy.
Can I exhibit or sell the work I create in this workshop?
One of the main intentions in my courses is to help you find ways to connect with a style all of your own. So, with this in mind, I’m happy for you to show and sell original, innovative work created. If, however, you feel that you want to follow along more closely and produce pieces very similar to those within the projects that is all good, but I would ask that you don’t put those pieces out to exhibit or sell if they are close copies of my work. I trust that your heart will tell you what is too close. We also ask that you understand that these are Tracy's copyrighted techniques and may not be taught or packaged as a class by any individual other than Tracy without express consent. ♥
Can I teach these tutorials in my own classes?

Are you ready to grow your creative abilities, step into a more confident version of yourself and Paint Faces with Freedom?
Here’s what I know for sure; art opens the heart and mind to possibility and potential. It sparks and fuels our imagination, helps us to see beauty within and walk through the world more confidently. Art is the process of learning to create ourselves and experience the world in fresh new ways. Art supports a more expansive view of life: beauty, curiosity, wonder, spirituality, storytelling, helping us to be more present in the moment.
Art keeps the magic alive and the hope in our hearts.
I’d love you to join me in this class and in fact I created it especially for YOU. I truly believe that everyone can learn to paint faces, in the same way we can learn to paint a flower or a mug or a tree… I believe in you, am cheering you on and wishing every good thing for you and I can't wait to see you unfurl and shine as we move through these lessons together!
Lots of love,
Tracy xo
