Photo to Finish -Bring a bravado of brushwork when painting from photos. How NOT to paint everything!

You have a favorite photo but don't know how to paint it or you just painted from a photo and realize you have over worked it. Learn the tools to get the most out of reference photos while keeping that spontaneity. Learn how 'not' to put everything in. This class will explore...

      • how to choose a good reference photo.
      • how to edit and compose from a photo.
      • how to loosen up when painting from a photo.
      • how to take good reference photos.
      • Demos in oils but other mediums welcome.

A supply list and map to the Laporte, Colorado art studio will be sent upon registration. Out of town attendees will receive options for accommodations.

What a wonderful class and a great group of people to paint with! I learned so much! The places we painted were so much fun to visit and I feel like Jeanne went above and beyond to make this such a great experience! I wish I lived closer, but I’m hoping to be out that way again to take more classes from her.
