From photo to Painting workshops

About the day

From Photo to Painting Workshops A photo captures a moment. A painting brings it to life. Discover how to transform your favourite photographs into expressive, painterly works of art. In these inspiring workshops, you’ll learn to move beyond simply copying a photograph and instead paint with confidence, freedom, and your own unique artistic voice. Together we’ll explore how to simplify a scene, identify strong shapes and tonal values, create expressive brushwork, and make creative decisions that bring your painting to life. You’ll learn what to leave out, what to emphasise, and how to capture the essence of your subject rather than every tiny detail. With step-by-step demonstrations and individual guidance, you’ll gain practical skills that you can apply to any photograph while developing a looser, more confident approach to painting. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, these workshops will inspire you to see beyond the photograph and create artwork that is vibrant, expressive, and uniquely yours. Come and discover the joy of breathing life into a photograph through painting.
