Do you ever feel like your portraits just don’t look the way you imagined?

  • Maybe you’ve tried piecing together online tutorials, but it leaves you feeling more frustrated than fulfilled.

  • Maybe you feel isolated in your creative journey, unsure if you’ll ever reach the level of art you dream of creating.

  • Maybe you’re wondering if your art is “good enough” to keep going.

You’re not alone. Too many artists spin their wheels this way. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

***all of the videos and images on this page are from actual lessons for the course!

I know what it's like to feel doubt.

Why I’m the Perfect Guide for Your Journey

I created Let’s Face It because I know how intimidating portrait art can feel. I’ve been where you are—unsure, overwhelmed, and questioning if I was good enough to keep going.

What changed everything for me was having a safe space to show up, practice consistently, and be encouraged along the way. That’s exactly what Let’s Face It was built to provide.

Now, 10 years later, over 20,000 artists worldwide have grown their skills and confidence through this program.

With Let’s Face It 2026, you’ll have the expert instruction, community, and clear path forward that every portrait artist deserves.

 

Kara is joined by 31 artists who understand the journey you are on...

Love notes from LFI students...

I have grown so much in skill and confidence after just this one year of LFI. The range of styles and techniques shared by the instructors is phenomenal, the variety of portraits/projects pushed me out of my comfort zone in a very good way, and the support of the community is priceless.

- Jaqualine Ameel

I joined LFI25 and during year 2 of my retirement I have not stopped creating! I have learned so much, using new mediums, new techniques, which has taken me down many new paths. I feel like I am finding my voice, or my style, and I know this wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t have joined. I love it!

- Kelly Walker

The best present ever!! It is like a whole new world has opened up! The best part is you can do it at your own pace and the community is so supporting. If you love painting/drawing this is the best place to be!

- Helle Vouzi

The quality of lessons, videos, artists, additional information and support is unsurpassed, and far exceeds the cost of the course! It is my gift to myself which I eagerly await each year.

- Shirley Gordon

Let’s Face It 2025 is my third year and I am hooked. There are so many lessons (what a good deal!) and the teachers are so talented! I have been amazed to see my own growth, thanks to the Let’s Face It classes.

- Amy Dibner

I have been taking Let’s Face It since 2016, and it has truly transformed my portrait journey. I struggled with many aspects of portrait painting.Since becoming part of this program, my portraits and skills have grown enormously. I feel much more connected to my work, and I approach portraiture with both joy and trust in my abilities.

- Britta Smith Toftebjerg

This class is about building confidence, connecting with community, and discovering what kind of portrait artist you’re becoming.
