10am to Noon

Do you want to learn how to take a reference photo and turn it into a finished painting, but don’t know where to start? This is the class for you!

Sketchbooks are essential to developing a finished painting. Before you can start a painting, you need time for concept development, design, experimenting with formats and colors, and a lot of upfront trial and error. A sketchbook is where you first work out all those painting elements. Once you’ve used your sketchbook for planning, you’re ready to paint!

Learn Steve’s strategy for using your sketchbook to move from reference photo to finished painting. You'll be surprised at what you can do with a paintbrush, an open mind, and a sense of humor!
