Painting over a Photograph with Stephanie Burton

This is a 3-hour Workshop (10am-1pm)

 Painting over photocopies is a great way to practice painting portraits. I chose this first photo because there is so much contrast in her face and I love close-ups. I painted over her existing highlights and shadows which again, is great

practice when learning how to paint a face. The larger photo creates a nice focal point, and the colorful background draws you into the painting.

This class includes: 

• Dylusion and distressed inks & Acrylic paints

• Community tools, magazines, collage paper, stencils, stamps, and watercolor paper 

Workshop includes:

• materials

• demonstration

• instruction

• tools
