Description:

This fun and informative workshop will introduce the participant to the basics of manipulating their images in Photoshop. The basic skills needed for artists to better prepare their own works for the web or for print will be covered and explained. The workshop participants will explore these tools in a creative way not only to improve their photoshop skills, but to generate beautiful mandala based art pieces which they will have the opportunity to print 2 of these creations to take home at the end of the workshop. Those who want to add more imagery to their digital garden will have the opportunity to do so for an additional paper and ink fee. No prior experience is required!
