How many photos have you taken on vacation, or around town, with the intention of painting that scene when you get home.  Once you open that picture, it can feel a bit overwhelming in not knowing where to start.   This class takes us through the steps of looking at photos as elements that can be pulled out and placed on your canvas or sketchbook for illustration.  You can pull from several photos together, or simply arrange one photo into a composition that is inspiring to you and makes more sense on paper.

If you like to illustrate in Pop Art or Boho Style, you can take an element from a photo and using the techniques Kerrie teaches, utilizing watercolor and ink, turn your own photos into a fun and exciting illustration.

Kerrie offers close up photos of her designs and walks you through everything step by step in each video.  She also provides pdf’s for you to print and trace, so you can apply the pattern with ease, allowing you to focus on the fun of painting, or you can use your own photos to create a composition more meaningful to you.

While teaching, Kerrie demonstrates basic and easy watercolor techniques  These learned skills can transfer to your future projects and elevate your art abilities and confidence.
