Free portrait drawing demonstration > We believe anyone can learn to paint or draw. Start here with top artists teaching during Art School Live. Your host, Eric Rhoads, is an artist who struggled to learn to paint, so his goal is to make painting easy for the world.

In this episode, Eric welcomes special guest Christine Swann. Christine has been designated as an Eminent Pastellist by the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS). In 2015 Southwest Artist Magazine selected Christine Swann as an “Artist To Watch” and her artwork has evolved since then. Although she originally started out by painting her children by bribing them with candy, she now works with live models.
