Join us Saturday April 19th at 9:30am at the Photographic Arts Building in Balboa Park for an in-person workshop with Linda Doll. Linda will be demonstrating how she uses several photos to create a digital collage in Photoshop.
See the attached sample of her art and visit her website for more information. https://www.lindadoll.com/
A note from Linda: “My digital pieces are quite exciting for me. There is such freedom in being able to photograph exactly what I find aesthetically appealing and then to be able to combine or collage these photos back in the studio. I am then able to layer and manipulate these photos, adjusting the image, colors, values, intensities, etc. just as I do when painting.”
