Emily, I'm thinking of joining your monthly master class. Is this facial/human body painting covered in it too? Thank you.I can't wait!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Hello! YES! There is a whole category dedicated to portraits, and I try to include at least 1 or 2 "people related" tutorials each month in the Daily Challenges as well.
