Digital Fresco presented by Sarah Hearn

Nov 15-17, 2013

Dahlquist Studio
Kansas City, Missouri


–


Join photographers Sarah Hearn and Chris Dahlquist at the Dahlquist Studio in Columbus Park to learn how to combine the ancient art of fresco with your digital photographs. Beginning with an intro­duc­tion to the art­work of both artists, each will provide personal insight on how his­toric process and mod­ern tech­nol­ogy are combined to create their work.

Participants will explore how the dig­i­tal fresco process can be incorporated into their own studio practice.  This workshop will cover: a brief his­tory of the fresco, digital image preparation for best results, and finishing techniques. Each participant will com­plete at least two of their own frescos and soak up some of the nerdy energy that hap­pens when these two scientist/artists come together!

This workshop is geared for people that are looking to add skills to an already established art practice, and that already have a good working knowledge of photoshop and digital imaging.
