Transcending the Photo Reference 4-Day Painting Workshop

We are super excited to bring Alyssa back to Chattanooga for her second workshop at Townsend Atelier.  Alyssa is a fantastic artist and a dedicated and generous instructor.  This 4-day workshop is designed to guide the students toward creating a painting from a photo reference, using both indirect and direct traditional painting techniques. It aims to instruct painters on how to use the photograph to create a painting that surpasses the look of the photograph, not simply imitates a photograph. The workshop will explain how to create a useful photo reference, covering topics such as ideal lighting, camera settings, lenses, Photoshop, and printing.
