Turn an average photo into a good painting

Turn an average photo into a good painting.
I know what it's like to flick through your photos looking for inspiration but never finding something that sparks you. It's a frustrating waste of time!
In this lesson learn how to turn an average photo into a great little painting. All it takes is a little extra thinking and planning. The main ingredient is the LIGHT.
We'll go from designing on the ipad (painting right on top of the photo) over to the canvas where I’ll be teaching you about drawing, colour mixing, variety (how to create more interest in your paintings), texture, and we're really going to focus on how you can invent light to bring the best out of your subject.
Follow along step by step using the resource photos or use the techniques to create something more your own.
Acrylics are fine for this lesson too.

Great idea: I never thought about painting over a reference photo in Procreate! Lovely painting as a result btw

Beautiful 😍. I've been watching your videos since I can remember, which is a very long time now. I'm inspired every time I watch your RUclips videos.

Very good quality in your work. I tried to paint a lake scene from a clear photograph but ended up with a boring painting. I don't understand why since I pretty much matched the colors exactly. I guess that was my mistake.

Your colours are so vibrant on the canvas, nice.

I was wondering how do you get the reflection like that? I’ve tried and I seem to have a lot of problems with this part. Thank you for sharing your talent. The painting is beautiful!
