Editing Reference Photos for Painting with Lightroom LIVE - Lachri

Do you wonder how to edit good reference photos for your paintings and drawings? Are you not sure what makes for a good reference photo or how to improve a photo that might not be great? I'm sharing my process for choosing a good wildlife reference photo and how I edit my photos!


The photos I'm working on are for the August Patreon Reference photos. Not only do you get access to over 150 painting and drawing tutorials with Patreon (plus a new one every week), I also provide you with a set of reference photos each month!

Are you sick of facebook filtering the content you want to see? Me too! I'm starting to transition over to MeWe! It's a platform that has no advertisements, is free (you can buy icon packs and such if you want which is how they can avoid ads but they aren't necessary...although I'm leaning towards buying the bee icon pack haha) and they're HUGE on your personal privacy!
