July 11 Using Textures to Enhance Your Images Sign up HERE
Sharon Prislipsky
The great masters of classical painting used texture to add interest and a tactile dimension to their work. Similarly, in the film era photographers added texture to their images through multiple exposures, partial exposures and overlapping negatives. Today, we can add textures to our images digitally, saving us the messiness of working with emulsions in the darkroom. This class will teach you how to make your own textures and add them to your images for a more artistic effect.
Participants should prepare for this workshop by finding and capturing three or four texture images. Preferably these images should be RAW files or full-size unedited jpg images. A “base” image, also in RAW or full-size jpg, should also be captured to use with the textures. The base image should ideally have plenty of “dead space” and be in a neutral color or a pastel. Participants should bring a laptop computer that is loaded with Photoshop CC. (You may sit along side another participant if you are not able to bring a laptop or have Photoshop.)
