Hand coloring a black and white photograph is an art form all by itself. This hands-on, two-day, 9am -1pm course, held in person at the beautiful Griffin Museum of Photography, introduces you to the history, aesthetics and technical aspects of hand coloring as well as the many techniques for shooting and finishing images printed in the digital era. The all-important last step of preserving and framing the final artwork make this a comprehensive workshop. The instructor will show examples and do demonstrations throughout the weekend. All participants will be working on their own hand-coloring and will have the opportunity for numerous one on one interactions with the instructor.
Prior to the workshop, the instructor will email all participants with a list of recommended supplies/materials to bring to the class.
