My process is easy to follow, even if you struggled with editing and never picked up a brush before.

Anyone can learn how to paint digitally and produce breathtaking photo art.

yOU CAN LEARN TO PHOTO PAINT eASILY

“Her expertise is evident in her artwork, but what sets her apart from other instructors is her passion to share her knowledge.”

"Carly is an amazing artist, and just as inspiring as a teacher! Her expertise is evident in her artwork, but what sets her apart from other instructors is her passion to share her knowledge and her passion for unique digital creations. There are many automated filters and effects available for Photoshop, but Carly takes the time to teach the actual tools and techniques to create the artwork. Rather than pushing a button and hoping for something interesting, she encourages students to use tools available in Photoshop, experiment, and find their own style as an artist."

Learning how to turn a photo into a photo painting can be frustrating. Many turn to filters. The computer does the work for them. Leaving out the artistry and the opportunity to **visually communicate your point of view. The final image doesn't look authentic.** Instead, it looks unoriginal and repeats the same look over and over again.

Are you frustrated with photo filters?

DO your photos look like every other photo that's had the same filter applied?

Are you ready to create something truly original from your photos?

Learn to create a realistic, one-of-a-kind, painterly look on any photo. You, too, can make your own original amazing work of art through your brushstrokes that are not computer-generated.

You will learn how to set up a photo as the foundation for digital painting without having to learn how to draw. The color, form, and image come directly from the photo. The pictures come out in the brush strokes and you are the creator of amazing works of art.

I remember when I was trying to first learn how to photo paint digitally...

Does this sound familiar?

I would waste countless hours looking for the right Youtube video or blog that will give me the basic knowledge I so desperately wanted but wasted so much time searching instead of actually painting

Even though I was taught how to be an oil, acrylic, and watercolor painter in college, I had a hard time figuring out how to make my digital paintings look authentic

I would buy Photoshop Painting Actions or photo editing apps, but I was lucky if they worked. The result was not what I wanted. The photo paintings looked digital and computer-generated.

I would take other photo painting classes and the knowledge will not match up to my formal oil and watercolor painting background.

It’s NO WONDER digital photo painting frustrates people and they give up.

Everyone can take a good picture now. The artistry is in the editing.

These days, everyone has a camera. Just about everyone can take a good picture. Photography is one of the most saturated fields. Creating a photo painting will definitely set you apart and above.

But how...

When I first started to learn how to photo paint, I would use Photoshop Actions or photo filter apps. I thought this was how people achieved that painterly look from a photo.

Often, I couldn't figure out how to make the Action work. I would waste time watching Youtube videos that didn't have English audio to help me learn how to set it up. I was lost.

If I did figure out how to run the Action, as soon as Photoshop will update the Action quit working. I wasted time and money on something that didn't work.

I wasn't getting the results I wanted.

Instead of buying another Action, or photo filter app, wasting my time and money, I spent my time learning how to achieve the painterly look from a photograph, digitally. The more I learned the more excited I become. Because I was the one making the creative brush strokes. Truly making the painted photo my own artistic expression.

About Carly Sullens

Art, for me, is a thing of passion.

It has always been a big part of my life. And fine art photography, after I’ve discovered this new dimension of art, has completely liberated me and transformed my creative vision into one that sees no boundaries or limits. It allowed me to express myself freely, creatively, and unapologetically.

My courses are designed to teach photo enthusiasts and professional photographers to transform photos into artistic creations, leveraging principles of fine art.

Easy to navigate and follow, I have created step-by-step tutorials that will teach you to digital paint (even if you’ve never touched a brush), professionally edit, and reveal elements of art within your photos.

I don't want to teach my style, I want to unleash yours!
