This course is a beginning to end edit of a stock image into a surrealistic style portrait using Affinity Photo. I combine the styles of my favorite composition artists to create the image using a ton of hand made textures, and techniques unique to Affinity Photo.

Now this course is not for the brand-new person, this course assumes you have some knowledge, but if you want to jump in the deep end you may have watch each lesson a few times. In this course we explore:

How to liquify a subject and create the forms that make the style
How to create things like glitter tattoos, make-up and other beauty retouching techniques
We cover frequency separation and the use of displacement maps in portrait work
We color grade the finished image
We create textures from those things found around the house

In short, this is everything you want to know about how take a good portrait, and turn it into a piece of surrealistic art

At the end of the course we will have you place the finished export down in the assignment area for critique…… enjoy
