Hand Coloring Digital Prints

Instructor: Kathie Cichon

This hands-on weekend workshop is an enjoyably fast-paced, technically informative event, guiding participants through the basics while opening up new possibilities for artists and photographers of all levels. Cichon will explain and demonstrate the use of color mediums, and provide info and tips about pigments, blending and glazing, controlling the drying time, mixed media, archival practices, finishing, and lots more. The curriculum includes hand coloring personal photographs.

Get your questions answered by an experienced photographic artist with an intimate knowledge of hand coloring who will help serious amateur and professional photographers and artists interested in learning the basic techniques of traditionally hand coloring a digital photograph. Participants can also bring their own chemically processed prints. The workshop includes experimentation with canvas, sheer paper, watercolor, coated RC paper and metal using oils, pencils, pastel, chalk, spot pens and metallics. There will also be a discussion about presentation and preservation. Each class is customized to make the best use of time.

Artists of all levels will come away from this workshop with fresh insights to feed their creative expression. All participants will receive student starter kits and literature packets.
