Portraits Within

You've always wanted to paint faces — but something tells you they're too hard

Maybe you've sketched eyes that never looked quite right. Maybe you've stared at a blank page knowing a face lives inside you but not knowing how to coax it out. Maybe you've watched others paint portraits and thought: I could never do that.

Portraits Within isn't about getting proportions perfect or mastering anatomy. It's a mixed-media journey into painting female faces through emotion, layers, and raw self-expression — guided step by step by Kasia Avery.

You'll work across multiple mediums, building portraits that carry feeling rather than precision. Every face you paint becomes a mirror — reflecting courage, softness, wildness, and parts of yourself you didn't know needed to be seen.

This course explores the full spectrum of feminine energy — bold and transient, tender and unapologetic. Through portraits, you give form to emotions and aspects of yourself that often go unseen.

See what you'll create

Layered expression

Build depth and emotion through mixed-media layers — collage, paint, ink, and intuition working together on every face.

Colour as feeling

Discover how unexpected colour choices can carry more truth than a technically accurate skin tone ever could.

Faces that speak

Paint portraits that feel alive — imperfect, emotional, and entirely yours. No two will ever look the same.

Does any of this sound like you?

• You've always wanted to paint faces but you feel like they're "too hard" or you need to learn to draw perfectly first
• You've tried following portrait tutorials but the results feel stiff — technically okay but emotionally empty
• You're drawn to expressive, mixed-media art but you don't know how to apply that freedom to something as specific as a face
• You overthink every feature — the eyes have to be symmetrical, the nose has to be "right" — and it kills the joy
• You want to paint portraits that feel personal and emotional, not portraits that look like photographs
• You sense that painting a face could be a form of self-discovery — but you need someone to show you the way in

If you said yes to even one of these, keep reading.
