Currently Viewing Nicholas Simmons Workshops



2010 - 03/21

This one day seminar will captivate participants as Nicholas Simmons demonstrates how to use Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) to maximize creative potential. With a computer and digital projector, the artist will take you step-by-step through his process of manipulating reference shots into ideas for amazing prize-winning paintings. Students may provide photographs for Nicholas to work with, as time allows. Even if you are “computer illiterate,” this seminar will launch your imagination to another level, and inspire you to see and paint in a new way. (no computer needed for participants)
