In an effort to stay fresh with new ideas and techniques, each year I attend one or more photo workshops. They can be anywhere from a full day to a week long. I spent this past week in a workshop with an artist who specializes in "photo painting". This is a technique where you use a photograph as a base to create what can only be described as a painting. Utilizing a special "Pen Tablet" you begin applying different types of brush strokes over the photograph. When completed the image takes on the very real appearance of either an "oil" type painting or a "water color" type painting. Several different software programs are utilized to achieve the appearance of the final images, including Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop.
I really enjoyed the class. Merging photography, digital imaging and painting opened up a whole new spectrum of creativity. Now, as an added service, my photo studio clients can have the portraits we create really achieve the look of an artistic painting.
