The Sargent Collection

The Sargent Track

For the expressive portraitist who longs to paint with intention, rhythm, and bravura.

Inspired by the descriptive, confident strokes of John Singer Sargent, this bundle is your invitation to step into painterly mastery. You'll learn how to control bold, layered brushwork without sacrificing grace—combining edge discipline, tonal clarity, and movement.

This is where you go when you don’t want crisp, detailed photographs that look artificially blurred.
This is distinctly painted. You decide where the brush sings and where it softens. Every mark is yours to command—whether a feathered edge, a lost shadow, or a decisive, knife-like cut-in.

What’s Included:

  • 378+ minutes of video training

  • 66 Corel Painter brushes built for expressive, confident strokes

  • Intro to Painter 2021 (fully compatible with 2023 and beyond)

  • BONUS: A curated background set to support your workflow

  • BONUS: High-res Sargent-style reference files (public domain)

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Learn to paint portraits with shape, structure, and softness—on your terms

  • Perfect for photographers-turned-painters seeking painterly control, not filter fakery

  • Unlocks the secret to edges that captivate—lost, found, and knife-sharp

  • A clear, grounded pathway into expressive realism with historical depth

 

 

This bundle includes Xia’s Alla Prima Starter Pack, Sargent Sketching, the exclusive BETA SKETCHING BRUSHES, and the richly textured Alla Prima Brushes—curated to give you both control and character in your earliest marks. All are compatible with Corel Painter 2021 and newer and pair beautifully with a pressure sensitive stylus such as the Wacom Intuos Pro tablet and pen. 

Whether you're blocking in with gesture or refining with bravura, these brushes were crafted to echo the immediacy of live brushwork—no fakery, no fluff. Just real painterly energy, ready to follow your hand.

I teach a repeatable process rooted in time-tested traditional art principles—value, light, and shape. This isn't about guessing or intuition. It's about building a solid foundation you can trust. The intuition comes after the structure.
