Deep Dive Portrait Mastery Course
How Do I Create Stunning Portraits of People & Pets?
Join me for a ONCE in a LIFETIME Deep Dive Portrait Mastery Course which can take your portraits to a whole new level.
Less is More
Instead of overwhelming you with massive workshops, I am distilling the essentials for creating powerful portraits into a Speed Learning System β less is more. By showing you the fast track to success we will work together to move from amateur to amazing FAST!
It’s not how long you study, but who you study with.
Believe it or not, I've been where you are. I was an absolute amateur (the drawing on the left makes me cringe).
But when I took an Apprenticeship with a World Class Colored Pencil Master, he revealed key secrets that completely unblocked me. He was able to pinpoint the chronic mistakes that were keeping me locked in the dreaded mediocre category … and I can do that for you too.
When I help you see where you are going wrong and you discover the Masters’ secret shortcuts, you could find yourself on the FAST TRACK to the top.
In the short time that I worked with a Master, I took my art from the embarrassing drawing on the left, to the corporate commission on the right.
So, why do I humiliate myself by showing you my weak art? Because I want you to realize that no matter where you start, if you apprentice with the right Master, you can improve your work pretty fast.
I specialize in Speed Learning
I’ve been teaching colored pencil portraits for about 30 years, but I never really pulled back the magic curtain, (except in my insiders’ Atelier Apprenticeship Program which is a full year).
When people look at the astonishing art my Apprentices create, and they begged me to distill these secrets into shorter online Portrait College.
So, I have decided to invite you backstage into my private online studio for a fall course.
This once in a lifetime insider’s backstage pass will allow you to look over a Portrait Master’s shoulder, as I show you step by step how to take an ordinary photo and transform it into an extra ordinary Masterpiece. My closely guarded secrets and your insider access to me, plus frequent critiques, could be the turning point for your portraits.

We are going deep not wide.
We’re focused on 2 subjects instead of being fractured by too many.
Short course fits into any schedule & you have a year to revisit lessons.
Deep Dive #1
How to Choose & Use the Right Colored Pencils
Focus on Pets - In this workshop you will discover how to
- Use hard leads for details like soft fur and thin whiskers
- Layer medium pencils into areas where you need whiter values
- Use soft leads when you need a color to pop
- How hard to press so your pencils won’t flake off
You will finally understand the importance of sequence. Instead of flaking pencils, when you use the right pencils, in the right order, you can layer dozens of colors and finally achieve those multifarious tones that replicate Realism.
Deep Dive #2
How to Turn Ordinary Photos into Extra Ordinary Portraits
Focus on People: Work along with the Master as she begins with this very ordinary photo and turns a cherished moment into a stunning colored pencil portrait.
Your access to a Master’s feedback and behind the scenes pass could help you make stunning progress on this portrait in a short time.
Remember it doesn’t need to take forever to become good. Apprenticing alongside a World Class Master can pinpoint your chronic mistakes and set you on the Speed Learning Path to accelerated success
BACKSTAGE PASS:
Your invitation inside my private studio, will allow you to work right alongside me as I show you how I create portraits start to finish. Discover every single subtle inuendo that separates good art from great art and find the key secrets that accelerate your success.
I reveal my process, my experiments, and behind the scenes logic for my paper and pencil choices. It’s as if you get to climb inside a Master’s brain and adapt their portrait solving process.
Gentle reminder though… This is not a magic wand. However, if you follow along with me and do what I do, use my closely guarded secrets, and practice, you will discover tried and true systems that can take your understanding of portrait to a whole new level.
Because reputation is important (it proves this is not my first rodeo), here’s a dossier with a just few of my credentials and testimonials from Apprentices whose portraits have gone from amateur to AMAZING.
I’ve been a national magazine columnist for 30+ years and I’ve made appearances on countless TV shows. My courses have received top awards and rave reviews in prestigious publications like “The Washington Post” who featured my courses in a full page on the front of their TV Guide.
Rhode Island School of Design, the #1 Art Collage in the USA awarded me the prestigious Fellowship Award because of my ability to transform my Apprentices from amateur to amazing so quickly. Here are a few examples.
When I started Sandra’s courses, my art was work than a caveman. I was so impressed with Sandra’s ability to make drawing easy and honored to be welcomed into her invitation only Apprenticeship Program where I watched in astonishment as my work went from amateur to amazing. Thanks Sandra.
~Bruce from North Carolina
My mother and I have always been artistic, but I never was quite satisfied when I looked at my results. When I saw a workshop from Sandra Angelo online, I bought it as birthday gift for myself and I was so surprised by the rapid progress that I made, that I found myself hooked on her courses. I had the honor of being offered an Apprenticeship in her invitation only Atelier and I’m so excited that I’ve sold 9 pieces since enrolling in her courses.
You will find Sandra kind and generous with her advice and my art wouldn’t be where it is today without her incredible instruction.
~ Carol Leather – Cambridgeshire, UK
My husband and I run a company where there is a lot of stress. I wanted a way to relax so I searched Google to find the best instructor. I watched a few videos and read reviews and one name kept popping up as a favorite, because Sandra Angelo is known for getting great results from her students, fast.
I loved working with Sandra Angelo because she took my art to a whole new level.
When my neighbor lost her dog tragically, I decided to draw a portrait to bring his love. Honestly, when I look at this portrait, I’m amazed at how great it turned out. My neighbor and I both thank you, Sandra.
~Sharon, Carlsbad, California
When people look at the dramatic transformation in the next testimonial, they have trouble believing that this is even possible.
So, first I show them this amazing before and after drawing where Orville was featured on the front page of The Washington Post when they gave me a rave review of my art course. His before and after drawings in this article were 8 weeks apart!
Shocked? I know; it even surprised me.
Read Orville’s testimonial below and see how he went on to draw his whole family (scroll down to see his grandson’s portrait in colored pencil). Orville left a great family legacy so that his grandson still remembers the happy times they shared together.
A stroke on the left side of my brain at age 50, forced me into retirement and I was soon bored. Wanting to develop the muscles in my right brain, I signed up for a course with Sandra Angelo called “So You Thought You Couldn’t Draw? An engineer, I had never had an art course but because Sandra specializes in working with people whose art never even made it to their mom’s fridge, I took a chance and WOW am I glad I did.
I am still shocked when I look at the stick figure drawing, I created in her first class and the photo realistic portrait I did of my grandson with her superb instruction. Now, I’m drawing the whole family, including the cat and the dog because I want to leave an art legacy so I will be remembered by my family after I leave this earth.
As a side note, I was blown away when my art was chosen to be on the cover of the #1 art catalog in the USA. Who would have thought that an engineer with stick figures would become so successful and even a bit famous?
~Orville, Solana Beach, CA (RIP)
