Hi Bianca,
the levels of the students varied widely. Many of them, actually most of them where professional artist, many had background as illustrators. Some where more or less self taught . The portraiture course is not recommended for beginners without knowledge of anatomy.
By Velasquez style I mean direct painting, no under-painting and no glazing, a lot of chiaroscuro and sfumato effects. Total realism totally classical. .Take a look at Daniel Graves work, and the rest of the faculty and also alumni of past students work. to get an idea .
