I'm a beginner at drawing, will I be able to keep up with the class?

Yes, students at all levels of development are welcome. I will orient you and guide you personally to gradually add to your knowledge so that you feel comfortable as you gain proficiency.

I'm experienced at drawing, will I learn anything new?

Definitely. There are always techniques that are worth exploring even if you have a lot of previous experience. Sharpening your sense of touch will give you a greater range of expression.

I want to draw faces (portraits) rather than plants. Would this class allow me to do that?

Yes, using plants as live models is a device, because they allow drawing directly from life, and unlike live models, they don't need breaks. If you prefer to draw faces, or other objects, you may bring your own materials or photos to work from. The techniques are the same.
