Emmanuel Hølaas Art Academy
A new online academy dedicated to the art of hyperrealistic drawing.
I'm developing six in-depth drawing courses, guiding you through every stage of the drawing process — from the first grid lines to the final details. Each course is designed to provide detailed, step-by-step instruction, personal feedback on your completed drawing, and a certificate of completion.
The courses are being carefully developed in both English and Norwegian, with the academy set to launch in 2027.
