Hand-coloring Your Inkjets

This program is designed to expand your thinking on how to present your photographs in a new way. Nancy will talk about how to enhance your inkjet prints with watercolor, pastels, and color pencils in a step-by-step simple process. No artistic ability is necessary. You will be shown how easy and fun it is to combine these materials with your images to create one-of-a-kind mixed media pieces. Learn how to determine what type of image to choose, and then how to print it properly. The goal is to introduce you to the materials and each process so you can see which direction you might like to go with your images and interests. You will be encouraged to work creatively with a new appreciation of seeing and using color.
