Juicy Brush Strokes – Transforming a Boring Reference Photo (Acrylic, Gouache, Oil, or Watercolor)

You can download the class resources here. Of course, these are for learning purposes only, not for resale.

For our class project, you'll create a complete landscape painting using the reference photo provided in the class materials—or feel free to choose one of your own! We'll keep the supplies and design process simple, making it easy for you to dive in and enjoy the creative journey stress-free. Please share any stage of your process and upload it to projects!

This is a supportive and inspiring space where we can share our progress, exchange ideas, and grow together. There’s no pressure—just encouragement! I’ll be here to provide feedback along the way, and I know you’ll uplift each other as we bring our paintings to life.

Ways to Engage in the Project Space:

Share your work so we can offer feedback and encouragement!
Post inspiration photos that spark your creativity.

I can’t wait to see your unique take on this project—let’s create something amazing together!

I comment on every project posted, take a quick photo with your phone and upload it to projects. Just go to the Projects and Resources tab and click “submit project.”
