My Master Portrait Professor, Inger Hodgson generously gives portrait classes in Malibu. Inger’s classes adheres to and celebrates a method of drawing and painting called sightsize – a philosophy of seeing. She began her training in this traditional European approach to portrait painting in 1984 at the Cecil Graves Studio in Florence, Italy. Charles Cecil became her mentor, and the Charles H. Cecil Studio her educational anchor. This school offers the best training available in portrait painting in the world, unless you have the privilege of learning directly with Inger in Malibu, California. http://www.ingersportraits.com/artist.htm
