Class meets Saturday and Sunday 12-4pm EST

Your hands-on, two-part course with Laurie will introduce you to the aesthetics and technical aspects of hand coloring – and then give you time to practice and work on your own photograph. You’ll leave with images you love and the tools to create more. 

This class will discuss taking photographs that are suited for hand coloring, selecting your materials, coloring techniques, and preserving your finished work. Students leave with at least 4 finished, fine art pieces of their own creation along with all the knowledge necessary to continue on your own.

• You will learn about taking photographs that are suited for hand coloring, selecting your materials, coloring techniques, and preserving your finished work.

• Before Class students will receive instructions on how to select a great image for hand coloring, and how to upload images for print.

The Supply List will be sent to you by Laurie 3 Weeks before the start of class.
