Do you want to paint more from your own photos but struggle with composition? If you're ready to move beyond "winging it," this workshop is for you!

In "From Photo to Final Painting," Steve Berry will guide you through the painting process while encouraging fun and skill development. You'll practice selecting and editing photo compositions to create stronger foundations, simplify shapes with an ink notan to emphasize key elements, and learn to use the Watercolor Clock for better control in wet techniques. Additionally, you'll master the color wheel to achieve desired mixtures without relying on rigid recipes.

Steve will foster a supportive atmosphere, providing reference materials and encouraging you to work on your own photos on the final day. Go beyond technique and discover the mental framework needed to express your vision through watercolors!
