This live course is designed to help you create a large-scale narrative oil painting from your own photo references.
You’ll learn how to assemble a strong reference collage and transfer it at scale. Then, you’ll develop your painting in layers, balancing structure with intuition and detail with ambiguity.
Live sessions start October 9th. Enrollment closes October 1st or when seats are filled.
By the end of this course you will be able to...Â
- Create a composite image from your own source photos
- Confidently scale up to a large canvas
- Create a drawing guide in PhotoshopÂ
- Paint believable volume at large scale, without formulas
- Trust your instincts and correct without overworking
- Get through the 'valley of despair' to finish your large-scale painting

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. -Â 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.
