This practical two-day workshop is designed to help you understand what makes a good painting reference and how to turn your photographs into stronger, more engaging artwork. Over two days, you'll learn how to see like both a photographer and a painter — spotting interesting light, shadow, shapes and compositions, taking better reference photographs, and then using them as the starting point for a painting rather than something to copy exactly.
