Paint a Nova Scotia Beach with Me From a Reference Picture

Picture to Perfect was a masterclass I taught in Nov, 2021 when I was launching my now-extinct membership called Evolving Artists Collective.

It was one of the best live experiences I've ever hosted.

Below is its replay where I'll show you the easiest and most effective way to translate a reference picture into a stunning watercolor landscape, from start to finish.

This is the recording of an immersive group experience where you will walk out of this masterclass with a beautiful landscape painting plus tools and cheat codes that will help you paint any inspiration picture in the future!

In this masterclass, you will

  • Learn how to choose reference pictures and from where

  • Learn how to simplify your inspiration picture

  • Understand color-mixing and composition

  • Discern what to include and what to leave from the picture

  • Paint an evocative landscape

  • Paint and celebrate in the most supportive community

  • Smash those limiting beliefs that are holding you back

  • See and believe, for real, that there is an artist within you
