This one day workshop offers all you need to know to create that wonderfully romantic and at times, surreal quality, to your black and white photographs with Marshall's oil paints and other techniques, including Peerless water colour dyes and Prismacolour pencils With all the current talk of digital processes, this is an opportunity to experience the satisfaction and subtlety of hand application of colour .

All materials are supplied, including work prints, paints and pencils and dyes.

The aim of this session is to provide an complete introduction in a "hands on" workshop to practise the use of three methods to apply colour to traditional black and white photo paper as well as prints available from your local processing lab.

Deb will guide you through the trouble areas with many useful tips not found in the literature available.

April 25th, 26th

I am offering two workshops on this weekend

Both workshops are intended for the novice and are geared to different purposes.

Saturday, April 25th

This is a workshop in hand tinting your old family photographs.

This is a workshop in using dyes to paint on resin coated prints, available from any photo lab.

You will be asked to send 2 scanned files of your ancestors to me prior to the class.

The final prints will be ready for you when you arrive.

Our aim here is to create 1 or 2 tinted prints ready for framing at the end of the day.

You will be able to do this at home at any time with simple materials readily available.

Sunday, April 26th

This workshop is intended as a more thorough workshop with emphasis on all the methods used in earlier studios - Marshall's oils, coloured pencils and Peerless dyes.

This is a great opportunity to get a feel for each method before purchasing materials and for those artists with access to a darkroom, it is particularly applicable.

Prints and all other materials will be supplied.
