What students are saying...

What did Ruby age 12 think of this class?! 

 She loved it and she tells you why in this video!


First 2 Portraits in 20 years of art experience!

"Taking Brandi Hofer’s online portrait class is one of the best gifts I have given myself. I am a mixed media artist.


This course is different than the rest because of the teacher. Brandi’s genuine sincerity, positive energy and easy guidance along with real time videos, really make it something special. She says it’s for everyone, and I absolutely agree! I have over 20 years of experience as an artist and have never attempted portraiture. I’ve always been in awe of it, thinking it was an impossible summit for me. 

 

Now here I am with my first two portraits that I have ever done, with enough confidence to show them in person and on my social media. 


Brandi’s philosophy and teaching method eliminated so much second guessing for me. She really reinforces that this practice of the artist, the hobbyist, the creative or the curious, is about play and experimentation. Not about being hard on ourselves. There’s enough of that crap out there." 


- Kylie O'Grady

Rekindled my passion for art!

“My three daughters are all very interested in art and so originally I had just thought for them to take the class. 


I have been away from painting and drawing for 15 years. I decided to take the class with them and I’m so happy I did! 


Not only was it fun to create together, but I have rekindled my passion for art and now feel so inspired to create more! 


Brandi’s instruction was so thorough, easy to follow and inspiring! All three of my girls, ages 16, 12 and 9 LOVED this class and were amazed at how their portraits all turned out! 


The method for getting the portrait drawn right, is a GAME CHANGER! 


And because we are such a busy family with lots of other activities going on, this was perfect for us. We were able to fit it in so easily with our schedule!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Portrait Class?

Portrait Class is a step-by-step online course designed to help you create expressive, beautiful portraits — even if you’ve never drawn a face before. 

I guide you through my full process, from reference photo to finished piece, using simple, approachable techniques.
What materials do I need?
You likely already have what you need. 

Inside the course, I show you how to work with accessible materials like: 

  • Paper 
  • Coloured Pencils or Pastels 
  • Paint (acrylic or watercolour) 

This is all about creativity on a budget — not expensive supplies.
What will I actually learn?
You’ll learn: 

  • How to simplify the face (so it’s not overwhelming)
  • How to build layers and depth 
  • How to experiment with different mediums 
  • How to develop your own artistic style 
  • How to let go of perfection and actually enjoy the process
Is this a live class or pre-recorded?
It’s pre-recorded, so you can watch anytime that works for you — pause, rewind, and create at your own speed.
What if I feel stuck or not “creative enough”?
That’s exactly why this class exists. You don’t need to be “naturally talented” — you just need a starting point. I’ll guide you through that.
Is this for beginners or experienced artists?
Both. If you’re a beginner, this will give you a clear, confidence-building starting point. 

If you already create, this will help you loosen up, try new mediums, and develop your own style.
Do I need to know how to draw faces already?
Not at all. I break everything down in a way that feels doable and unintimidating — no perfection required.
How long do I have access?
You get lifetime access, so you can go at your own pace and come back to it anytime.
Can kids take this class too?
Yes! Kids and adults both love it. The approach is simple, creative, and flexible for all ages
Will I finish a portrait by the end?
Yes — and more importantly, you’ll understand how to create portraits on your own moving forward.
What makes this class different?
This isn’t about rigid rules or perfection. It’s about: Feeling confident Letting go of fear Creating portraits that feel like you!
Is this about realism or style?
Both. I teach foundational structure, but the real goal is helping you find your own style — not copying mine.

Take the class!

"Earlier this September, in the time when time existed, I sat down in my studio to unwind and decided to take a class. I am always looking to learn new and better ways to improve and every once in a while, those skills go into the toolbox. This is definitely one of those times! 


I decided to take Brandi Hofer's Portrait Class. She was a fellow Art Queen, a total badass juggling her creative world

with her family (and doing it beautifully).  


My testimonial: Here it is, do it. Take the class. This class was fun, it set me up for success, and it was easy. All the pressures and thoughts that normally loom over my head when I paint were gone. 


Brandi takes you by the hand and guides you through a series of videos from the beginning. Starting with how to take you photographs to set yourself up for success, to preparing your paper down to bring it to life with finishing touches. She also provides a PDF version of the class that you can print with brainstorming ideas, drawing challenges, and journal prompts to help you get started and delve deeper into your purpose. 


I loved this class and will recommend it to anybody that asks."
