Take your traditional painting skills to the next level by harnessing the power of digital tools you already own. In this useful workshop, you’ll learn how to transform your own photographs into polished watercolor, gouache, or oil paintings using mobile devices, tablets, and intuitive apps for gridding, color matching, and design. Drawing on techniques used that Gorsiski developed for top studios like Walt Disney and Industrial Light & Magic, this class shows how technology can simplify complex processes, improve accuracy, and speed up execution. This will help you create more confident, professional-level work from start to finish.

This class is located in the classroom.
