Learn to draw Portrait!

The easiest way to do this is to start first with Self Portrait

A Masterclass on Self Portrait & Self appreciation and transfiguration.

At this Masterclass, you will learn

• How to draw a portrait
• Proportions applied when drawing a face
• Harmony and balance in composition
• Drawing techniques
• The proper technique of shading with pencil
• Cannons of beauty
• Self transfiguration meditation exercise

We will talk about self-appreciation and how to "see" ourselves in a beautiful way, to appreciate our qualities, and to bring them into our drawing.

This is called in spiritual terms transfiguration. An essential aspect as well when we perform Art.

Learn figurative drawing and combine it with abstract-fantasy elements.

Create an imaginative background in your Portrait.

At this Self Portrait MASTERCLASS, you will be able to portrait yourself together with elements of nature, objects, and free drawing in the background enriching your figurative drawing with fantasy drawing & texture.

• Combine figurative drawing with abstraction and fantasy elements.
• Learn about textures and shading

What is Self Portrait?

Self-portrait is when we draw ourselves. 

It is the easiest way to start drawing a portrait and start to draw the human body. 

Each of you will receive a mirror and will draw yourself remarking all features and main characteristics of your unique face. Our face is a starting point, the drawing does not necessarily have to look like ourselves, but more as our inner essence.

We will use transfiguration meditation exercises to depict all your beautiful characteristics, enhancing all qualities that you have and as well the qualities that you wish to awaken more in yourself.

What is transfiguration?

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Transfiguration is when we see beyond appearances or what we perceive through the 5 senses. 

We start from what we see and we go beyond it, seeing all our hidden potentialities appreciating who we truly are and all our most beautiful nuances. Using visualization techniques and drawing them, we are able to awaken those qualities in a very easy way.

Drawing is the foundation of all Visual Arts!

A painting without a good drawing is analogically speaking like a body without its skeleton. 

If the drawing in a painting is well done, with the right proportions and structure, we could say that that painting is half accomplished!

ART IS A FORCE IN ITSELF

Extremely valuable but still accessible. 

• Art is a complex result of skills, spiritual balance, and scientific knowledge, When combining these qualities, we can perform and experience genuine Iniciatic Art
• Art has healing effects in this stressful world.
• Art is bringing contemplation and relaxation into our minds.
• So many times, Art has not been understood, we offer now, the quantum transformation of Art
• These new revolutionary methods will be hopefully one day available in all schools.

ABOUT THE ART TEACHER

Ines Honfi

Over many years of experience in the field of Art and creativity, she saw what is missing…..

First Ines studied Art, she learned techniques to develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, with tones of hours of training.

But, she saw that this is not enough, she needed as well to learn techniques to access stability in the process of inspiration, to accomplish inner balance, better focus, to know more about her soul and the Universe.

She found an Esoteric School where Ines learned to alchemize her energies, to awaken her intellect, body, mind, and soul, and to grow into a balanced person.

Ines became Yoga, Tantra, and Meditation Teacher on this specific Initiatic system, 

After training herself intensely, Ines wishes to bring something positive, idealistic, and visionary to our society, to pass forward all that she knows to you, who are in the beginning or middle of the search to express yourself creatively and artistically.
