Wetcanvas Live! Paint Stunning Landscapes From Photos: Lesson 1 & 2 |
"These two lessons are the introduction where you will become conscious of what can go wrong by relying too much on photos. One of the common fallacies is to assume that just because you have a good photo reference, you will end up with a successful painting. While it is true that a good photo will help you paint a winner as long as you know what is valuable in it and what can hamper the final result. These two lessons will provide you with the same insight on how professional artists get around photo dictatorship. You will become the boss over your landscape photos. Make the photo work for you instead of you for the photo. You'll learn: • Strategies for what to borrow and what to ignore in photos • Detect and avoid typical traps contained in photos • How to lead the eye in and throughout the painting • What counts the most to the viewer as he reads your artwork Approximately 4 hours"
