What you will learn in this mentorship

• In this mentorship group, we’ll zero in on the art and craft of portraiture and the human figure, using Victor Wang’s decades of experience to confront tricky drawing and painting challenges head-on.
• Think of it as a deep study in emotional tension, psychological drama, and how to make the figure feel alive—not just anatomically correct.
• You’ll learn how to build form with thick, buttery paint, how to treat color as structure, how edges and composition work together to capture mood and story. We’ll also cover practical skills like self-critique, tool selection, composition & color-relationship, and studio time-management. You’ll walk away with sharper technique, a deeper understanding of light & mark-making, and more confidence bringing the human figure to life.

1. Figure & Portrait Fundamentals – Strengthen your drawing and painting skills for the human form.
