Painting Fresh and Loose from Photos

Photos allow painters a closer examination of spaces we couldn’t normally paint from life and allow for an exploration of spontaneity and visual ambiguity if we don’t use the image to paint every detail.
Learn how to select photos that will make great paintings and how to manipulate and combine photos for the best composition. Also learn how to avoid some of the pitfalls photos can present us.

Photography is a great tool for artists, but we don’t want to copy everything the camera sees!

During the week I will review student’s paintings in Padlet and offer suggestions. We will briefly review work or go over questions before each new session.
