Digital Plein Air w/ ‘Procreate’
En plein air painting was popularized by the French impressionists during the latter half of the 19th century. En plein air is an expression meaning in the open air. Prior to this notion, artists typically painted in a studio, working from reference drawings. Landscape artists still work in the open air while others hike into nature with only a digital camera, returning to the comfort of their studios to paint from high-resolution photographs. Working live from nature and from a live model or subject are the best ways to develop our digital art skills. Learning to ‘see like an artist’ is one of the skills we must develop. In this week workshop we will visit various locations in our local area to study from life using our digital drawing devices. Students will learn about composition, color palettes, sketching, procreate brushes, Forms, Lights and shadow as well as have a nice day out in the local area.
Week 7 ~ Photo Painter
If you are looking for a creative way to enhance the quality of your photos, this camp is for you!
Photo Illustration is a general term which refers to the idea of taking a photograph and paint on it using digital art software. This art form is often used in advertising, marketing, book cover art, and even journalism. Campers will learn some basic photography techniques. Using the information that a photo provides, we can come up with a fun story that starts with what’s already in the picture. After visualizing and sketching those initial ideas, we will then move on to creating an illustration. Understanding the best way to add illustrations to your photographs will open up a world of possibilities for your artwork.
Campers are strongly recommended to bring an iPad with photo taking function. Please also make sure that the device is able to download apps for educational purpose. Wifi will be provided in the studio.
