STUDENT WORK - BEFORE AND AFTER
"Read about Pashur's BRILLIANT beginner caricature Zoom class he put on yesterday!! Be sure to snag his info now, give him a follow, and sign up for his emails so you don't miss out on another opportunity like this. JUST LOOK at my before and after & what I was able to accomplish in a single 8-hour course put on by Pashur. These were timed drawings using only a black sharpie with no pre-pencil sketch. Caricature art is something I have fawned over for literally decades, but always felt like it was an unachievable skill for a self-taught artist like myself. BUT he has made it attainable by breaking every aspect down into understandable pieces. I just need to put in the time and practice now!! Clearly there's a lot of improvement to be made but this is literally THE FIRST Caricature I've ever drawn. I'm super stoked. So dudes - go find Pashur if you want to expand your business services. THANKS PASHUR!!!"
- Holly Lewis
Here is a Before and After sample of one of the student's work from Pashur's Caricature Zoom Workshop on April 12, 2022. Both pictures were drawn in ink only, no pencil and she only had a few minutes to draw each picture.
The Before Picture : She had never drawn a caricature before.
The After Pic : The same subject drawn just a few hours later.
Here are some words from the student...
WHAT ELSE ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THIS ZOOM WORKSHOP
“I need you to understand that you truly opened the door to a decades long dream of mine. You really made this an achievable goal for me. Baby steps - it's all time and practice now. THANK YOU!!”
- Holly Lewis
“Great instructor! I learned more about caricatures in an 8 hour class than in months muddling through myself... I loved the structure and step-by step nature. Now, I just need to practice!” This class gave me so much confidence with a structured format toward caricatures! My wife (who runs the business side of our business), saw how things were progressing, and told me to be ready to be booked come May."
- Ed Mueller
“Never say never - when it comes to Pashur - He can teach you anything. I loved how my tribals took over my painting after his workshop 10 years ago... How happy I was to learn loads from him yet again - Caricatures here I come.”
- Laura Pennock
"This caricature class was the best. I learned so much and now I just want to practice. I learned everything I needed to know to do caricatures in public. The class gave me the skills and confidence to do caricatures."
- Sally Edelman

WHY TAKE THIS WORKSHOP?
Party Caricatures are a great service to add to your list of party entertainment services.
-
It's more sanitary (no need to sanitize between people and no boogies to wipe off)
-
No paint clean up afterwards (no brushes to wash, sponges to wash, no kit to clean)
-
You have less to haul into a gig. For caricatures you bring in 4 items - an easel, a drawing board, paper and pens. That's it.
-
Less competition. How many caricatures artists do you know? Chances are, you probably know more face painters.
-
You can social distance from the person you are drawing.
