Course Overview

Turn Photographs Into Digital Paintings Using Photoshop

Step ahead of the competition by offering unique portrait art, paint in Photoshop from a photograph.

This course will take you through all of the steps to create unique paintings from your photographs. Step by step, I break down all the things you need to know and understand in Photoshop to move your images out of a photographic appearance into a more painterly one.

Although, I do break everything into simple steps a basic understanding of the program is suggested. This course is perfect for intermediate to advanced users.

After completing this course you should be able to turn any photograph into a digital painting that you can be proud of.

Not an artist? Never painted before? That's OK.

You CAN learn to paint digitally and with a lot less expense and mess!

Whether you are a professional photographer looking to rise above your competition by offering paintings as a unique product to your clients, or you are simply a hobbyist who enjoys editing images creatively, you will find everything you need here to get started and create amazing art that you will be proud to show your family and friends.

Digital art can be created from just about any image, even low resolution ones from phone cameras. As a matter of fact, there is no requirement at all to even own a camera in order to benefit from this course. In one lecture I even show you how to find royalty free stock sites where you can download stunning photographs to paint from.

Included in the course are 60+ lectures, and almost 6 hours of in-depth video training. There are 3 practice sessions, where you can watch me paint as I go over everything I'm doing, step by step.

In the supplemental material sections, I have included the images I use throughout the course for you to download and practice along side me, but you will learn the skills needed to create a painting out of ANY image.

Enroll today, I'd love to help you learn this fun way to create art!

    Thjis course is targeted at photographers and spends to much time on camera RAW and plug ins etc,., and i snot geared for digital artists interested more in technique.

    Well done and very knowledgeable lecturer. The course is a bit outdated if you enrol years after it was produced. Otherwise, very informative thanks

    Much of the material was dated. In particular when the instructor covered brushes and tool presets, it did not match what I was seeing with Photoshop 2020 CC. It made it very difficult to follow. Also, it seemed like the instructor was no longer active with this course. She covered particular brushes when she was painting the girl with the red hair, but I was a little lost on the different brushes she used. She showed how to upload pictures on Udemy, but it looks like you can't do that anymore. It would have been great for the instructor to provide critique. Not having direct access to the instructor is frustrating when you have questions. I asked several questions and never got answers. There was some good content that made it worth my time.
