Winston Salem Photography Group
Mikayla Penner
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

REVIEWS
It was excellent. The class made me so aware of realizing just how much beauty there is in the depth perception of the city scape and landscape all around me. As I was driving about after the class I could not take my eye off of all shapes and angles. Simon explained to me how to use a few techniques to create arches, focal points and properly begin with drawing buildings and structures.

It was nice meeting Samantha, she gave me a few options as we sat and got acquainted. She gave me freedom to sketch what ever. I opted to draw several settings around the part. I was challenged to press myself in a couple of directions. If this is offered again I'd go. I would like to see a few more participants, that would be a great way for folks to learn, challenge, get to know a diverse community.

Title or Location: Lost & Found
Last year I was going to my daughter's but a police car was blocking the road due to some electricity repairs. So, I stepped out of my car to talk to the officer. I dropped my wallet but didn't notice it. Thinking it was lost I went to the DMV to get a new driver's licence. While waiting on line a get a call from work telling me someone found my wallet. I called him and he kindly went out his way and brought it to me. As a regard I painted a portrait of his son and gave it to him and his wife.

In Harmony with Strong, is the name of the painting. I ride by this tree in the parking lot of Harmony Grove Church every day. On certain days, the sky behind the tree presents a remarkable and visually stunning appearance. I have always had a special interest in trees and now that I am an artist I want to paint them all. This is the first of many more to come.This is a display of years of a strong will to survive. Many local workers have used it as a shelter for their lunch breaks, with indiv

Title or Location: "Cruz". Oil on panel. 11"x14". 2025.
I?m a self-taught oil painter with a Bachelor?s in Art from UNCG, where I originally focused on web design. Over time, I found myself drawn back to traditional media, embracing oil painting as a way to express emotion and connection. I began painting in 2018 as a way to cope with my father?s passing from cancer, and since then, my work has become a tribute to the love and bonds within my family. Portraiture is my passion, capturing the depth of human expression, especially in those closest to me

Title or Location: Beaver Dam
This painting was done over the course of like 2 years. I never thought I would revisit it or complete it at all. But I guess it was inspired by an alien landscape and I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could build a dam. I think that the cool palette I used is otherworldly and beautiful. The Sun is going down and the Moon is coming up, giving it a sense of transition.

This was from photos I took while cruising slowly around the harbor on a misty/hazy day in Southwest Harbor last year. I loved the boats lining up so nicely, the muted tones due to the filtered sunlight, the gentle movement of the water.
