The Fine Art Water Portfolio - online
Water, the essence of life, will be our canvas for creating artistic images. With a mindful vision, we will slow down to explore the patterns of design formed by water and shorelines. You will learn the tools of your SLR or mirrorless camera to play with light dancing on the surface, isolate reflections, and direct your camera to paint works of water art. Class includes presentation of work from photography artists, assignments, image reviews, and directions to develop a final portfolio. A field trip might be scheduled.
Intermediate level of Lightroom or Photoshop is required. Intermediate to advanced level. This class will be taught online via Zoom.
