Topic 1: "From Lens to Canvas" — Using photos as painting references

2 hrs 30 mins··$45

Workshop Description:
Learn how to transform your photographs into expressive paintings in this hands-on workshop designed for artists of all levels. From Lens to Canvas explores how to move beyond simply copying a photo — teaching you how to interpret light, color, and composition to create artwork that feels alive and personal.

Through guided demonstrations and individual feedback, you’ll discover:
• How to select strong photo references that inspire creativity
• Techniques for simplifying complex scenes and enhancing focal points
• Color mixing strategies to translate photographic light into painterly harmony
• Ways to maintain freshness, energy, and emotion in your painting

Bring a few of your own photos (printed or digital) or use provided reference images. You’ll leave the workshop with new techniques and a deeper understanding of how to use photography as a creative tool rather than a crutch.

Recommended for: painters interested in landscape who want to strengthen their composition and interpretation skills.
