Part 2: Big Stories - From Composition to CanvasÂ
Big Stories is a self paced course that guides you through creating a large format narrative painting from your own references, create a drawing guide in Photoshop or Procreate, and develop your painting in layers with a balance of structure and intuition.
You’ll see teaching, demos, and critique examples from past students, along with weekly assignments and mid-week lessons that support your progress. By the end, you will have a clear, repeatable method for scaling up your collage, building believable volume, making confident corrections, and moving through the difficult middle stages of a large painting.

What students love about Part 2:
Trying out Caitlin’s drawing guide and transfer method was an absolute game changer. — Nina R.
Caitlin does just the right amount of prep work, her course felt challenging but was set up in a way that it felt accessible, and like I could jump right in. — Cat J.
If there's one word to describes Caitlin's course, it's "generosity." Thank you for sharing the tricks of your trade. — Cathy W.
The collage you created made me realize I don’t have to copy the scene. You moved shapes to guide the eye and that unlocked something in me. — John F.
