A recent Viewpoint exhibitor, Judith Monroe is a photographic artist working with alternative processes to create one-of-a-kind handcolored works. Whether starting with traditional black-and-white photographs or color Polaroid transfers, Judith (www.judithmonroe.com) focuses on revealing her memories of the emotional and spiritual pull of the landscapes she has found, evoking a personal response in viewers.
This workshop explores traditional and contemporary approaches to handcoloring photographs. Participants will get hands-on experience applying various media onto traditional and digital photographs, including colored pencils, oils, watercolors, and more. In addition, participants will:
- Learn a little handcoloring history.
- Get an overview of papers and printing, materials, and layering colors.
- See Judith take an image from black-and-white to full color, layering several media over the course of the day.
- Learn about and experiment with different media, including watercolors made just for photos, even RC prints! You also get to play with oils, pencils, pastels, and markers, and discover how they all work together.
- Get personalized advice for your particular goals in handcoloring.
Participants can bring their own matte-finish silver gelatin or ink jet prints to handcolor—or use Judith’s work prints for a nominal cost.
And bring a sack lunch, so you can work through the lunch break!
