By the end of this class, you will have your very own captivating wildlife portrait.

After over 11 years of experience and being shortlisted in The British Photography Awards, these are my top tips.

You’ll be using a digital medium, like Photoshop, to create your artwork. You’ll walk away having learned to:

• • Source good reference imagery

• • Sketch a foundation for your painting

• • Create a value-scale for reference

• • Block in big shapes and paint smaller details

• • Exaggerate features

• • Make finishing touches to your artwork

For your class project, you’ll work on your own black and white stylized portrait using the formula covered in class.

This class is recommended for intermediate artists. Although beginners are more than welcome, it’s important that you at least have some working knowledge of the software you’ll be using to paint, as I won’t spend too much time explaining tools in detail.
