VIRTUAL CLASS
Learn to create beautiful paintings using your own reference photos! Professional artist Linda DeStefanis offers individual instruction for all levels in an accessible online class. You begin by selecting a reference photo (or two) you would like to work from, then learn how to:
- Create successful compositions from photos, what to crop out, what to add or change
- Begin your painting by sketching then blocking in shapes for an underpainting
- Practice and try creating different effects by using different brushes
- Create dynamic paintings with the help of color
- Why you don’t need black paint
A materials and supplies list will be given before the first class begins. With individual instruction, you will learn how to use your own reference photos to create successful, beautiful paintings. This class also works for acrylic artists. All levels welcome!
