Putting brush to paper and painting a great composition can be daunting - feeling you have to create the ‘perfect’ picture on the first go. In this class, you’ll learn how to find creative freedom and paint without pressure. With fun and easy step-by-step lessons, you’ll compose and create a beautiful, finished, still life illustration from hand-painted elements in Photoshop.

This class is for anyone interested in illustration and wanting to become more confident with composition and working with both analogue and digital techniques. Some familiarity with Photoshop will give you a great leg up before starting. 

At the end of this class, you’ll be able to apply your new skills to many illustration subjects - from patterns to more complex, detailed image making - the possibilities are endless!

To get started, you’ll need paper, pencils, and a paint of preference. You will also need a device to photograph or scan your work, such as a smartphone or scanner, and access to Photoshop. (I’ve included further resources under the Projects & Resources tab with materials, inspiration, tips and tricks covered in the class.)
