In this class, I will show you how to paint from a reference photo, as well as, how to add into the painting an element that was not in the original photo to create your own original composition.

In this class, you will learn about:

• How I use reference photos and sketches together
• My favorite paints and brushes to use
• How I start all of my paintings
• My painting process from start to finish

At the end of this class, you will have the skills to paint your own painting using reference photos and sketches together. 

This class is intended for those who have taken my other painting classes and/or for those who have painting experience and want to learn a new technique to incorporate into their painting practice. However, if you are a beginner or new to my classes, I recommend taking my classes in the order below:
