Class Description
Painting based on photographs is a unique art form that is not only fun, but can also be a great mode of creative expression.

Enjoys the Artistry Academy of Painting for Photographers
I can’t emphasize enough how much I enjoy and how much I learn in your Artistry Academy of Painting for Photographers classes, from how to approach a painting to checking tones, looking up references to how you might want to paint it, to the webinars and step-by-step instruction on all these aspects of creating a painting and adjusting dimensions and incorporating the use of A.I. to add to an image before painting. Plus you’ve created brushes and share them, along with supplying images relevant to the subject the tutorial is covering and show us how you’ve created paintings we’re discussing.The best is you always encourage us to find our own look, not just copy you. I love having the videos of the classes to reference at any time. I also get inspired by other participants’ work and questions and it always feels safe to ask for help and receive advice.I feel like I can’t say thank you enough for the effort you put in the courses, webinars and recordings, your website and how accessible you make yourself all the time.
Thank you.
