About the upcoming September workshop, Art Digitization / Scanning:
In this workshop, artists will learn the essential techniques for photographing and scanning their artwork to create accurate digital copies, ensuring precise representation of color, texture and form. Through step-by-step instruction on lighting setups to minimize glare and shadows, proper camera capture methods, color management for accurate colors and post-processing tools for final adjustments, participants will gain the skills needed to produce high-quality images suitable for websites, portfolios and reproductions. This hands-on approach will equip attendees with practical knowledge to avoid common pitfalls, such as distortion or color shifts, while effectively bridging traditional art methods with modern digital tools.
