Photo Paintings, A Slice of Life – Getting Ready to Teach at CREATE

One of the classes I am teaching at the Irvine, CA CREATE Art Retreat is Photo Paintings, A Slice of Life. Using watercolor and a section of your favorite photograph, I enjoy painting portraits, animals or landscape miniatures based on what is contained in the photograph. 
Here I am with my Jack Russell Terrier, Mischa after hiking up Tumalo Mountain near my home, Bend, Oregon.  I brought my paints, watercolor journal and camera.  I took a self-portrait photo before hiking back to my studio to finish the photo painting.
 Are you intimidated by drawing people? Don’t worry; the photo does the hard part for you!

  2. La Table – the photo does the hard part. You cut out what is hard to paint (like faces, bodies…) then paint around it incorporating the photo into the painting. Hard to explain I think but really fun!
    Thanks for the comment!
