This is an exciting program I am giving at the SWPP convention in London next week. I am really looking forward to sharing at this program to help other photographers who are frustrated and stuck in a grind of high school seniors and weddings to find a way to make more money and also sell their images as fine art over and over again.

You don’t need to know much…..you can use many different programs and plug ins but the point is to DO IT! I think some are mistaking this four hour super class for a Corel Painter lesson and it’s not. It is much more than that! It’s about the entire journey of becoming who you want to be!

With over 25 years of experience as a studio owner and master portrait artist, I was silly to take a giant leap with my eyes closed and my mind open into the art world of painting. I still can’t draw a straight line,  do draw stick figure doodles and never had formal art training. Yet, my paintings (developed from photo reference) have hung in airports, won best of show and even  had a one woman and group shows in a very short time and are selling internationally. The finished original canvas paintings have form and texture that are all created with the simplest of acrylic paint products available worldwide.

I am going to show how easy it is to create these finished pieces of art and the magical road to selling them over and over and over creating new income flow that is pure profit. Create it once, sell it a thousand times over in multiple products and market to new collectors who then will become your studios new portrait clients also. Working it full circle will increase sales in all areas.

Sit in with me even if you never painted with a brush and never drew before. I have done all the research and created the information and details to take your studio into a new area of touchable art in simple terms and materials. This is a life changing time for photographers. This is a product that will put your studio above all others and have your clients talking about you as an artist.

Come to SWPP and REGISTER FOR THIS SUPER CLASS

You do NOT need anything but to take notes at this class. If you want to follow along in Painter or Photoshop that is fine, but it is NOT required!

You can find more tutorials, free brushes and downloads at his website. THE BRUSH PORT Please visit his website and thank him for his help!

Was working on another one to use for new avatars and business cards and more and after three days of working on the other pose…trashed it to the “look at later” folder and started a totally different pose and painting and this one just flowed along easily. I am going to finish up some tweaks and details on it but wanted to get it out there to be seen!
Always remember that its okay to not finish if it’s not flowing…another day, another painting may just grab you and run!

I am getting back on my game and going back to my roots with colors in portrait paintings.This has been sitting in the “to be painted” folder for over a year and it just came together yesterday for me. I can’t wait to do another one!
