Rose Cameron –
I have taken numerous years of LFI and this year is hands-down the best! The addition of the optional eBook and printed book was a huge benefit this year! I am not the best at keeping up on weekly work, so I love having not only lifetime access but a book to flip through to see which lessons excite me most! As an instructor for LFI, I am consistently inspired by student work and it seems like the number and range of experience grows with every year of LFI! Thanks again to Kara for hosting this incredible course and thank you to all the students for consistently showing up and courageously trying new mediums and poses!
Amy –
Fabulous!
Camille Roman (verified owner) –
This is my 2nd year in LFI and my work has transformed so much! I was intimidated by portraits, but now I look forward to creating each new piece and bringing out the unique personalities of each subject!
Reina Gamett (verified owner) –
This is the best online course I have taken. It is such great value for your money. You get to learn from so many teachers, with different styles and backgrounds. You will be introduced to different mediums and ways to create art. The teachers are very knowledable and positive. You will become part of a wonderful, art community. The Facebook group is so encouraging and you will continue to learn weekly with each lesson . Not only do you get a new lesson each week with a life time access but Kara also provides bonus lessons as part of this course. I can not recommend this course enough.
Corinne Kirkham (verified owner) –
I am now in my fourth year of LFI and every year gets better! I have learned more than I ever dreamed possible and am really excited with all I can now do and what I know is possible.
Kara Bullock has created something very special. 27 different teachers over 50 weeks, all with their own unique styles. You can pick and mix, or have a go at everything. And all the lessons are available for a lifetime, so you can go back and do a lesson as many times as you like!
I have really enjoyed learning to work with different media, and the student community is amazing! Such a supportive encouraging wonderful group of people.
It may sound cheesy, but LFI has changed my life!
Tove Sveen (verified owner) –
I have bought lfi21,22 ,23 and 24!
I love to open my mailbox every monday to receive a new lesson! Lots to learn! Recomend LFI if you want to learn more about painting, drawing, watercolor and much more! Your skills will improve !
Corinne Kirkham (verified owner) –
This is my fourth year with LFI and every year I think it can’t get better but it does!
What’s so good about it?
* 27 amazing tutors over 50 weeks
* really helpful feedback
* lots of learning! Substrates, media, tips and techniques – from the teachers AND students
* the ebook… I now know what the plan is for the whole year, and can prep in advance if I want to!
* lifetime access, so I can go at my own speed, skipping lessons and coming back to them if I want to, or viewing the same lesson multiple times
*the Facebook community. What an incredibly supportive and helpful group! People are generous with their comments, time and handy hints = friendship, skill development, personal and artistic growth.
It may sound cheesy, but LFI has changed my life! I started in when I retired, and it gives me a sense of purpose and something to look forward to.
I can’t believe how much I have learned in the past three years. I am producing work now that I wouldn’t have dreamt possible at the beginning.
Thank you, Kara, for everything!
Patricia Wilson (verified owner) –
This is my third year and I absolutely love LFI. Amazing lessons from great teachers, so many different techniques, mediums and styles I am never bored! Each week I am excited to get my new lesson and discover what treasure awaits me. I cannot imagine life without LFI.
Barbara Rohde (verified owner) –
This is the first time I have taken LFI and I am really impressed with the quality of the artists and the way the course is organised. Superb value for money and excellent for improving your artistic skills across the board. Highly recommended.
Diana Corey (verified owner) –
This is my seventh year taking LFI! I have learned portraiture and figurative skills; something I never thought would happen! I was a landscape person prior to this. I have even achieved some looseness (a personal goal, and one which to Kara contributes in overt and subtle ways.) But I have to say that the community -folks from the world over- are the finest aspect of this course; the camaraderie, support, and kind critique are so very much appreciated. When I traveled to Europe, I met a LFI friend in person, and that was special. I have friends whom I’ve yet to meet in person, but they are family to me. I love them all!
Lesley Watts (verified owner) –
When Covid struck, I immediately enrolled in a very, very large online course. Since that time, I’ve taken another course, but am now in my second go-round with LFI2024. This bit of comparison has given me a good opportunity to compare value for money, the maintenance of a safe, highly respectful online community, and quality of instruction. In this second iteration, I see direct evidence that my unique style is evolving in a way that really delights me. I think I would have gotten there eventually, but I’m arriving much more quickly and in very august company – I am SO glad I took the leap!
Sharon Boone (verified owner) –
I love the variety of artists, art and teaching styles. So many wonderful things to learn. I also like that there is lifetime access so I can work at my own pace. Thank you!
Jane Schneider (verified owner) –
I have been with you from the beginning and look forward to every lesson you present. You make my Mondays,’STELLAR’
Looking forward to 2025.
Silke Jesse (verified owner) –
This is my first year doing LFI and I’ve been enjoying it soo much. I really enjoy the variety of tutorials with different mediums, even though the lessons can be done with materials on hand. I highly recommend this course and already look forward to LFI25
Alwineke (verified owner) –
This is my first year as a member of LFI and I love it. The variation of courses are great. A few courses where not my cup of tea, but great to watch and see what other members created. If you can afford it, I strongly recommend you to go for it. For sure I will go for LFI25!
Barbara Miller-Davies (verified owner) –
What a fabulous course. I have really enjoyed learning so many new and varied techniques from all the different teachers. As per usual life got in the way of me managing to keep up with the new lesson each week, but that’s the beauty of this course. – not only do you get lifetime access but there is a gorgeous book that you can refer to any time. I’d recommend this course to anyone interested in portraits it’s such a worthwhile investment. Kara and her team have done an amazing job putting it all together and are always available to assist as required.
edkosie (verified owner) –
Love the weekly cycle. Shared with a fellow artist (also a member) since 2017.
Using same source but dif processes and outcomes.
I started in oil, but now work primarily digital (ipad/procreate), She works in pastel, charcoal and/or pencil with real mediums.
Melissa Elliott (verified owner) –
I started with LFI in 2021, after having taken a previous class (Deb Weiers’s Wonky Friends & Critters) with the school, and haven’t missed a year since. Even if you don’t have time to do the lesson every week, the price compared with what you get for it is well worth the investment. I like that a lesson arrives every Monday to challenge me to pick up my tools and try something. My art has been transformed in so many ways—tools, techniques, attitudes, attention, feedback. And something people haven’t mentioned as much but which I have found to be an amazing aspect is all the friends you make through the social media pages on which we all participate, which exponentially increases the value of the initial experiences.
Diana corey (verified owner) –
This is probably my seventh year with Kara and LFI. I love the lessons, always finding a new challenge, twist, or tips. I have real friends the world over, with whom we commiserate, or challenge, or applaud each other; even meeting up on another continent for croissants and coffee! Kara is organized, supportive, and very talented herself. I highly recommend LFI, regardless of your skill level or media of choice.
Carolyn Bowyer (verified owner) –
I look forward to the class email every week! 2024 is my 3rd year of LFI, and I really enjoy drawing my people! A big thank you to Kara and all of the instructor’s!
Randy Weldon (verified owner) –
This is my third year of LFI, and I have gone from having to trace or grid every portrait to where I now can confidently draw nearly everything freehand. I can now mix colors, judge values, paint expressions, and paint much much more loosely than I ever imagined. I have many LFI community “friends” whom I’ve never met, but whom I still feel like I know. We laugh and joke, and affirm each other’s artwork, even when we don’t feel totally happy with it. The value of this course is immense, in so many different ways. I never have time to do every weekly lesson, but I pick and choose which ones I want to do when I have time. I love the beautiful digital and printed lesson book. Strongly recommend you try this course!!
Katrin Olsson (verified owner) –
Very talented and knowledgeable teachers, you would learn so much if you took this course. For myself, I have developed my portraiture skills and it is really helpful in my path as an artist As a bonus It also comes with a very supportive community.
Anna Genest (verified owner) –
This is such a fun course to take part in. There are a huge variety of lessons. Sometimes they don’t appeal to me, but that’s part of the fun, and honestly, I find that when I give them a go anyway, I have a blast.
Not everything is perfect–some instructors spend like an hour-long video talking laboriously through their supplies. Sometimes they say “um” practically every other word and I just can’t anymore. There have been instructors who have been, “well, I don’t usually do this, but we’ll give this a go,” and it’s goofy and definitely not exactly what you think you’ve signed up for. Sometimes the camera is bad and they know it but they don’t bother re-filming. There is a strong bias for very, very young, very fashion-magazine-“beauty”-influenced type paintings of women, which gets old quickly. So there are many imperfections to LFI.
However, there are about a zillion other fantastic aspects to this that far, far, far outweigh the issues. It’s so much fun. The FB community is lovely. You learn a ton. People seem to be afraid of making art if they’re not a natural-born artist, but honestly, that is so not the point. It’s play. Which isn’t to say you can’t take it as seriously as you want to. It’s just all around a great time and I’m so glad I took the plunge one year and clicked and got into this. Now I wouldn’t dream of skipping a year.
Pam Derrickson (verified owner) –
This is my first time LFI and the teachers are outstanding. I like that I can go back and pick my favorite teachers or art class. Kara is so helpful too. She’s always coming up with something to keep you going.
I appreciate the FB comments too everyone is very respectful.
Thank you for this year. I hope to do LFI2025
Linda Dadi (verified owner) –
This is my 3rd year and I have learned a lot from the various teachers and their varied techniques. It’s a very supportive community. It’s a great feature that the classes remain accessible in the future, too.
Gail S. Kolenda (verified owner) –
The talented, energized, successful artists that provide instruction for Let’s Face It 2024 and prior years is out of this world awesome!! These classes provide a plethora of skilled, tested information. Each class continues to throw new ideas into my world and I can’t stop learning. I enjoy the entire experience of these annual offerings and look forward to more. LFI did not and will never disappoint. It’s an honor to participate and grow as an artist. Thank you Kara Bullock for your vision.
Sabine Mund-Schmidt (verified owner) –
I am from Germany and have been thinking for a long time whether it makes sense to take an art school on the west side of America 😊. I didn’t regret it!! You get a lot of inspiration, new painting techniques and still unknown material at hand. Not only the LFT workshop, but the entire painting school of Kara Bullock I can only recommend. Only for the live workshops it would be nice if the European time would also be indicated. I will be happy to be there again at the next workshop!
Carole Zavala (verified owner) –
I love this course – such a great variety of approaches to portraits and figure painting. Great instructors – thanks.
Nelvia McGrath (verified owner) –
LFI changed my life and artistic vision. In 2019 it blew open my mind and creativity and still does. Exposure to many teachers and techniques has taken me places in art I never dreamed of or would have thought to do on my own. I found my voice and style and they evolve with me each year. LFI is a terrific monetary value and best presentation for a year long online course. Lifetime access allows time to review and learn new content and understanding from older lessons while new lessons stimulate continuing growth and interest. Kara, congratulations on 10 years and the community you have built, you are such a classy lady.
Lil Levy (verified owner) –
I have taken courses from this site since 2017….The site is well managed and you have lifetime accsess so you can go back to a class.
Also lots of choice of classes
De –
You can’t beat the price of this course. A perfect chance to try different mediums, styles & instructions. Kara is wonderful and she quickly got back to me with the few questions I asked.
Carrie McKenzie (verified owner) –
I can highly recommend this course. Whether you’re a complete beginner wanting to learn different techniques, or a practising artist looking for some new inspiration and ideas, the weekly lessons offer an abundance of all these. The variety of subject matter, and different tutor styles, make the course highly interesting and exciting. It’s a real treasure trove of creativity. The support from Kara, and fellow participants on the Facebook community page, is also hugely encouraging and helpful. And with a new lesson every week of the year it’s terrific value for money. I have loved it.
Nikki Kern (verified owner) –
This was my first year doing LFI and I LOVED it!!! It was so enriching with many different mediums & techniques used! Due to the abundance of varied instructors, I was introduced to many things I never would have tried on my own. I found some unexpected favorites! My take away: the ability to layer many different art mediums together in one piece to achieve a desired result. I would definitely take the course again!!! Thank you Kara!
Linda (verified owner) –
Kara Bullock offers such a variety of classes for all levels. The Let’s Face It 2024 classes have been great. There is always a good variety of teachers and approaches. The addition of a pdf for this year was also a great accompaniment to the classes. It is great value for money considering you get a new class for every week of the year. It’s also a great way to get to know the teachers and consider enrolling in a more in depth program of teaching. If you are on the fence about giving these classes ago I definitely would take the plunge. I’m always looking for inspiration and Kara Bullock classes have certainly provided it for my art practice.
Louise (verified owner) –
I’m on my 3rd year and can’t believe how much I have learnt in this time. I had always avoided drawing people as I thought I couldn’t do it but these lessons have proved I can. I was going to join a local class but I’m so glad I did let’s face it as I would never get an opportunity to learn from such a variety of tutors from around the world at a local class. It is also excellent value for money so go for it.
Haike –
This is an incredible value. I have purchased 3 years and, although I probably haven’t gotten around to trying 1/2 of them because of time or they just don’t inspire me, there is something for everyone. The teachers are diverse and so talented. It’s fun to see what different artists are doing and how they are doing it. It’s wonderful for people who need help deciding what to draw or paint and the huge variation of techniques means you are learning so much. I highly recommend this class to anyone with even a passing interest in portraiture. Your skills will grow exponentially!
Abby (verified owner) –
I am thrilled with the variety and quality of the lessons. I have been inspired to try new techniques and have found a new boldness that surprises and pleases me. I will definitely continue to be involved with the Kara Bullock Art School.
ptlsograce (verified owner) –
This is my 5th year in LFI. I went from teaching for 25 years to becoming a student and I absolutely love it! Not only am I keeping up on figure and portrait skills, I have learned so many techniques and new mediums! The icing on the cake is the wonderful friends I have made. There is so much inspiration and encouragement given from all the teachers and fellow artists. This is a pretty incredible art group! I am so thankful for Kara and all she has poured into making this such an enriching and life changing art course!

This was my first class at the site. Some pros and cons- Pros: Large number of different lessons spanning the year, including different styles, techniques, and mediums. A handful of the lessons were really helpful and not what I may have tried otherwise. I also like that everything of use can be downloaded if I want to watch offline. Cons: Large disparity in quality of teachers’ artwork so the number of weeks that have any value to you may vary greatly depending on interests and your experience level. Also sometimes there has been a big difference in video and audio quality recorded for each session so that could be improved. Overall I found it a unique course.

I highly recommend Kara’s Lets Face It Classes – such a smorgasbord of unique artistic talent offered and also introductions to a variety of painting mediums; oils, acrylics, watercolours, art pencils, pastels soft/hard/oil, art pencil, inks, waxes, surfaces, substrates etc. All educational and informative building up and expanding upon one’s art knowledge. An important plus for all is the world-wide art community/connections/friendships formed by joining Kara’s classes. One receives support, encouragement and great suggestions.
Hope to see your art there.

Let’s face it is worth every penny with great artists sharing their expertise each week. I have learned so much from their various techniques which has taken my art to a different level
as I have finally found my ‘style’.

This is my second year with Let’s Face It and I am looking forward to more! When I first started (LFI 2023), I was thinking I’d just give portraiture a try – that still life and landscapes would be more my thing. Well, I’m hooked! Through a wonderful variety of teachers, poses, mediums, styles I’ve really come to love the expressiveness that can be captured in portraiture. And the Facebook LFI community is so supportive and a wealth of generously shared knowledge by fellow artists all over the world! I’ve learned so much in these two years and I’ve so much more learning and practice to look forward to. Thank you, Kara Bullock and the whole Let’s Face It Community!
P.S. The hard copy of the LFI 2024 lessons has been a wonderful addition this year for easy reference, planning ahead, or retracing steps. What a great idea!

This is my second year with LFI and I definitely intend to sign up again for 2025. Love changing teachers, styles and mediums every week and I have learned so much. My work has improved exponentially and seeing other’s work and reading their comments on mine has been so stimulating and rewarding. The Facebook group is amazing. The free added lessons and workshops are such a plus this year. I also really appreciate that we have lifetime access as I don’t always have the time to do the lessons on the week they are presented. Thanks Kara for creating this great online community and uniting all these fantastic teachers. I so appreciate it.

As long as I’m physically able, I will never skip a year of taking LFI. My first year was 2021 & I’ve come a LONG way as an artist because LFI keeps you continually motivated to learn new skills & interact with a LOVELY, supportive group of like minded people. I adore Kara & what she accomplishes to both encourage every single one of us as well as bring in the BEST teachers. It’s exciting to get a new lesson weekly, but also to know there’s no pressure to keep up if you want to take your time-the course is available indefinitely. LFI courses are WELL worth the very nominal fee for what you get. 10/10!

I have been in LFI since the beginning and I can truly say that this year long course has been the best investment that I have ever made in myself!! Not only are the weekly lessons THE best but the community that has been built here is one of the most supportative, encouraging and fun group! Kara is extremely attentive to all the details that are involved. The site and the lessons are easy to navigate and everything is beautiful! I can not imagine a year that I will not be enrolled. Join me!!

What‘s more I can add to the rewiev from my fellow-artists over here. I agree to every word and thought they stated; it is wonderful to be in this great community and I never shrink from asking of what I don‘t understand; always nice and polite and helpful. They have cheered me up so many times!
Kara has done a great job bringing all those talented teachers together and it pleases us😇…Thank you,Kara, my friend, for doing all this for us.
I highly recommend LFI ……❣️🙋♀️👩🎨

This will be my fifth year (2025) to purchase Kara’s program. I’m going to be honest and say not every class is my cup of tea and not every instructor is a favorite but I do watch every class regardless if I do the actual work because I learn a new technique, a new trick, a new way to use a medium, a new way to use a substrate for something other than what it was intended for, I always pick up a pearl in every class.

Let’s Face It 2024 is a creative journey. The teachers and classes exposed me to a wide variety of styles and mediums and I’m loving the creative flow and inspiration! After painting portraits in watercolor for 3 years I joined this class and have now painted in oils, acrylics, worked in collage- each teacher has their own unique way to approach Art. I’m surprising myself in a delightful way. I highly recommend Let’s Face It!!

LFI is the BEST! Fun, exciting lessons; full of variety and techniques. Caring and encouraging community. I have learnt so much from LFI and will forever be grateful to Kara and LFI for the joy it brings to my life 💜

2024 was my first year of LFI. I loved being able to look at all the different artist tutorials . Each one is so different. This will not be my last year and waiting for LFI25 to open up.

I’ve been a part of Let’s Face It since 2021. Every year, Kara manages to attract bring talented instructors who bring interesting lessons each week!! One of great parts of LFI is that there is a mixture of media and processes, but there is no pressure to buy all of the different mediums– You can do the lesson in whatever medium you choose! Also there is a range of styles of the instructors which allow us to be exposed to endless possibilities and to experiment! All of this exposure and experimentation helps us to develop our own style, our own processes, and our own choices of mediums! There is no other online course that can provide the scope of portraiture –ESPECIALLY at the PRICE she offers! This is a fantastic bargain!! Especially considering that the instructors are available on Facebook for questions and comments! Additionally, the Facebook community is large– not in a bad way, but in a great way! The members range from experienced professional artists (which shows you how great this course is) to absolute beginners. The more experienced people share insights and feedback when requested. Everyone is very encouraging. There is absolutely zero “drama”. I have purchased previous years’ LFI because the lessons are amazing.

Although I have taken a few individual Kara Bullock classes as self study courses, LFI24 is my first year. Having a community to share my work with has been very motivating to me to keep trying new things. In the beginning I put pressure on myself to try to do most of the lessons. It was unnecessary. Now I just randomly choose lessons for “whatever ” reason moves me. I like variety of experiences, at least for now. I ‘ve found that in the LFI format.
