GABRIELLE BRICKEY ART CLASSES
Make better art.
I HAVE A SOFT SPOT
FOR THE
BEGINNER
I remember very clearly how it felt when I was first learning how to draw.
Struggling with my art as a young teen, I remember telling my mom: "When I *get this* I'm going to teach everyone how to do it!"
There was always a longing in me to share what I've learned! So I'm very open with my methods and process. I like to share every little detail with my students.

LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS ONCE AND FOR ALL
THE ART OF THE PORTRAIT
Both a captivating and timeless form of artistic expression, portrait-making holds a special place in the visual art world.
Portrait drawing and painting also holds a special place in my heart. There is just something about painting faces for me...I love it and have always been fascinated by the human face!
Through learned techniques and a basic knowledge of anatomy, forms, planes, and rhythms, you can create beautiful, lifelike portraits. Learn the art of creating portraits in this artist’s guide.
THIS IS THE PORTRAIT GUIDE I WISH I'D HAD
LEARN ONLY
THE ESSENTIALS
In this class, don't feel intimidated about learning anatomy because you don’t need to know every single piece of anatomy to make a great portrait.
In this course, I’ve cut the fluff.
Sharing with you only the essential anatomical landmarks you need to know to draw portraits. (Not all the landmarks you need to know to be a doctor!)
SIMPLIFICATION IS KEY
Simplification is key for me and my teaching style. I don’t like to memorize unnecessary details so my goal is to teach only the essentials. I also like to share concepts through multiple examples, so you can find the one that “clicks” best for you!
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:
"This class is an absolute must for portrait artists"
Wow! Another fantastic class by Gabrielle! The best part of the class for me was the brushes displayed before each painting while also showing everyone how you from start to finish tackle a painting!
Brilliant once again!
As always Gabrielle’s classes are wonderful and inspiring, with a plethora of useful examples and resources. These classes are a must-watch for anyone looking to improve their art.
This class is an absolute must for portrait artists. I do not use Procreate, but still found the information valuable as an oil painter.
NOT JUST A PROCREATE CLASS!

WHY LEARN WITH ME
I've been drawing for over 20 years and I still love it as much as I did on day one! I have a passion for art, but I also have a passion for teaching art.
I've had the pleasure of working with many companies, including Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, XP-Pen, Huion, Ohuhu Markers, and more.
I've taught hundreds of thousands of students how to improve their drawings and illustrations and I'd love to help you on your art journey too. Let me share with you the essential drawing techniques that have taken me years of study to figure out.
If you've always wanted to learn how to draw portraits, but didn't know where to begin, join in! I'd love to come alongside you and help you in your journey of leaning how to draw and paint.
