Digital Arts workshop in the works


Learn how to turn your photographs into a fine art digital print using the latest Adobe Photoshop CS4 application. The two-day workshop will focus on creating a “digital montage” by combining digital photographs and original watercolor washes into a digital file that is printed on large format Epson printers with archival-pigmented inks.

The first day will focus on using some of Photoshop’s advanced techniques to merge images into a visual composition. Techniques will be demonstrated and then each student will create their own piece of art with photographs and hand-painted artwork. The second day will explore printing on alternative materials. Aluminum sheet metal, rice paper, watercolor paper, silk are some of the unique materials that can be used.

Prerequisites: Laptop computer with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (free trial copies at Adobe.com), Intermediate experience with Photoshop application, and Artistic imagination

The workshop will be given at the CorkStop Studios in San Luis Obispo County on California's beautiful Central Coast, half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
