Class Description:

This course guides students through the process of gathering, editing, and composing images to serve as refined source material for traditional media paintings.

Long the tool of professional designers in the publishing and entertainment industries, Adobe Photoshop provides creative professionals with virtually unlimited visual options. Whether you’re an experienced Photoshop user or entirely new to digital media, inventive strategies for manipulating and harmonizing visual references from widely varying sources will open imaginative options in your work. After introducing the user interface, Williams will demonstrate the techniques he has used to craft his own oil paintings and digital illustrations. Students will craft their own compositions and build onto them with assistance by Williams.
