Painting from a Photo Reference

Instructor: Nathan Brandner
Date: Thursday, June 19th   
Time: 10A-3P
Fee: $95
Level: Beginner +

This class highlights the pros and cons of using a photograph as a reference. It will also walk students through a painting of their choice in oils. The photograph can be a useful tool in the right hands or a hindrance to the untrained eye. In this class students will learn what makes a useful photograph for a reference and what pitfalls come with the use of a photo. We will learn to break down photographs and learn to edit with an artistic license the elements in our photos. (Students are encouraged to bring 15-20 high resolution photographs they have taken either printed or on a laptop/tablet but NOT on their phone!) All supplies are included. There will be a break for lunch.
