This intermediate digital color class via zoom will explore ways color can work with exposure and composition to produce compelling imagery. We'll examine how different colors interact to create a sense of mood and atmosphere. The selection of color and tone can have a calming effect or generate tension. Primary and secondary colors will be discussed along with warm & cool, monochromatic, and pastel colors. As well, the effects of different kinds of lighting (contrasty & overcast, e.g.) will be seen to influence the perception of color. Tripod is required. The class will have two Sunday morning field trips with the instructor on April 12 & 19 (details given in class). More information is available on the North Seattle College Continuing Education website.

This workshop will foster a deep appreciation for the ‘Beauty’ of imagery in monochrome. Learn how the tonal scale affects perception of a photograph. Our approach will be to minimize thinking & judging. Rather, we will discuss ways to more fully engage intuition & improvisation in the creation of engaging monochromatic work. See how simplicity, stillness, and wonder can help cultivate gratitude for compelling B&W photography. Field excursions with the instructor will be conducted in Coupeville and vicinity. These field sessions will provide an opportunity for classroom evaluation. As well, one-on-one time with Robert will be available to review material brought to the workshop (digital files and/or prints). More information on the Pacific Northwest Art School website.
