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.

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:

1. How To Find Your Own Style As An Artist - very important to start with!

2. Acrylic Painting: Learn The Basics For Beginners

3. Acrylic Painting: How To Paint An Abstract Landscape

4. Acrylic Painting: How to Paint Using a Limited Color Palette

5. Acrylic Painting: Explore A New Composition Using A Reference Photo (this class)

6. Acrylic Painting: How To Create A Mixed Media Painting

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.

Below is a photo of the colors I used for this painting, but you can use whatever colors you would like!

IMPORTANT: The paintings you create from my class examples are for learning/educational purposes only. Those paintings or ones heavily inspired by my class example (or my other work) cannot be sold or reproduced in any way. All of my work is copyrighted and that is a violation of the copyright. Please stick to painting from my class examples only (not from other work on my website) or work from your own inspiration photos.
