Description

The focus of this workshop is learning how to transform your photographs into painted artworks. One of the common mistakes made in beginning expressive interpretation is the failure to convincingly replace the vocabulary of photography with that of painting. We will initially focus on these vocabularies and gain an understanding of their differences. We’ll look at the preparation of photographs for interpretation using Adobe Photoshop, then investigate Painter’s expressive brushes as applied to photographic source imagery. You will work on your own images, transforming them into personal expressive artworks. Be prepared for an exciting and inspiring week with John as you immerse yourself in a creative odyssey of expressive exploration!
