Coming this November: Photoshop for Artists with Yana Beylinson!
Registrations are open now at Photoshop for Artists Course. The fee is $450. (20% off with the coupon code SAVE20 if registered by October 1st)
Description:
This unique course will give you a solid grasp of Photoshop, focusing only on the tools that you need. Using Photoshop effectively will bridge the gap that many artists have between taking photographs and using it as a good reference for artwork.
Another important goal of the class is to teach to “think” in Photoshop - to visualize your ideas, however, complex they might be. A part of this will be building a structured approach and documenting your process.
We also talk about adjusting the photos you take of your completed artwork. Your audience most likely will see your artwork digitally, and your show acceptance or sale depends completely on your presentation. We will learn how to create the best possible presentation of your work and how to vow your collectors.
