Learn to combine digital art and photographs to create images that convey stories, emotions, and sensations

Combining different artistic techniques allows you to produce unique images by exploring the creative limits of each medium organically. Photographer Paulo Abreu, whose work has been exhibited online and in galleries such as Designboom, The Pink Lemonade, and ImageNation, specializes in using digital art resources to create unpredictable visual compositions in which bodies, landscapes, and objects melt together to communicate messages that endure long after the click.

In this course, learn to compose an evocative visual piece using painting techniques, illustration, photography, and digital art. See how to develop your ideas from a non-visual reference and turn them into images. Paulo also gives you tips for putting the finishing touches on your composition and sharing it with the world.
