Learn to manipulate images with digital media and bring digital sketches to life with watercolor painting. Take advantage of the non-destructive methods of working in Photoshop to experiment image manipulation before diving into the committed world of watercolor painting. Students will play with manipulating color, value and hue, textural filters and color combinations using sourced photographs. Students can choose to work from provided or selected image sources. The second portion of the class will task students to bring those digital sketches to life with watercolors, further pushing the images through this fluid medium. Class will combine demonstrations in digital and watercolor techniques, feature class critiques and discussions. Students can choose to work in long form projects or short term experiments.
