Sometimes it's just not possible to attend a workshop
Dru has designed his classroom-in-a-box home study courses just for you. Dru is 100% committed to making his lessons the best and most informative they can be. Each Classroom in a Box walks you through project step-by-step just like being at a Dru Blair workshop.
Classroom in a Box home study courses are recorded in real-time using HD video and narrated by Dru Blair himself as he walks you through your project and explains not only every mark he makes, but more importantly, why he makes those marks, as well as why he chooses to use one technique over another. Classroom in a Box home study courses: the next best thing to being there!
Not just lips, but teeth too!
Here is an element that is essential for creating great portraits. This video is over two hours, and is full of details about how Dru achieves his realistic results. Included in the full kit is paper, reference, stencils, tools, and paint. The lite version of this kit omits the tools and paint. Both versions include access to online video instruction so you can learn at home.
As a bonus, Dru will demonstrate how to correct the most common mistake for airbrush artists: going too dark. Correcting this is especially tricky with lips, but Dru will help you navigate through this repair so you can enjoy a successful outcome.
No matter your current skill level, you can achieve greater realism in your work and become a better artist. We guarantee it. Join a workshop or purchase Classroom in a Box home study course to prove to yourself that you ready to take your art to the next level!
