Portrait Artist Rita Lemasters

Portrait progress for a new student. Understanding face proportions and facial features basics makes an enormous difference!

I'm really enjoying teaching this mother son duo. They both did a great job with their first guided portraits. Including their pre lesson portraits for comparison. Fun!

Outstanding progress with this new student's portrait after just three lessons. Great job Lucca!

Excited to share the two lesson progress of this new student who's a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to seeing more!

What a sublime piece of artwork by this student. Acrylic on canvas. It all starts with a pencil drawing. Gorgeous work, Sofia!

This student knocked these two drawings out in one one hour lesson. Wow! That's some natural talent.

This long term student has such a keen eye for detail and dedication to her craft! Beautiful, Elizabeth.

This young student has really excelled in portraiture! Loving his growth in skills and confidence.

Nice charcoal work Adina!

This student has really hit her stride with still life! Awesome work Audrey.

Presenting a trio of animal drawings showcasing the development of this student's pencil skills. Nice work Nika!

This student is loving doing anime style. Colored pencil and her first use of charcoal for accents. Nice, Adina!

Blown away by this student's highly detailed artwork in marker and ink. Awesome work Ramsey!

Gorgeous still life by this student who works so hard.

This young student took on a couple of challenging portraits and did so well!

Love this student's creativity and skilled use of markers. Great job Ramsey.

Reminder of what patient guidance can produce. Past student three lesson progress.

Mixed media piece by a student who's really expanding her repertoire in art. Great job Falyn!

I love this student's bold confident style. Mixed media. Yay Max!

Graphite drawing of my mom as a young woman at a time when she was experimenting with photography. Drawn 16 years ago. Glad she had the chance to hang it on her wall. ❤️

Amazing drawing just completed today by this long term student. See first comment for her cat drawing from a lesson a year and a half ago. What progress!

A couple of drawings by a student whose confidence and skills have grown dramatically.

Facebook reminded me today of this portrait my very first student did during our lessons. Charcoal and sepia pencils. Love it!

Portraiture is challenging, 3/4 turns are more so. This young student did so well! And in color!

Another creative multimedia piece from this student!

A student who, not long ago, had very little confidence in drawing horses has done a beautiful job with this sketch! Proud of you Nicole.
