Great paintings adorn the walls of museums or art galleries. Meanwhile your photos live in dusty old 
albums or on your sad, cracked phone screen. That all changes NOW! Make beautiful digital paintings from your camera or smartphone, without getting a single drop of paint on you!
This course is designed to help students transform their digital photographs into stunning digital 
paintings. Students will learn how to use software to enhance the color, texture, and composition of 
their photos to create art pieces that resemble traditional oil, watercolor, or acrylic paintings.
No art experience required! Relax, listen, and learn or bring your laptop (optional) to follow along!
