Digital Painting

Students will learn how to create a digital painting using Adobe photoshop color palette and brush tools. During this unit we will learn about color, additive and subtractive, the impressionist painters and how to use transparent color and brushes. I have several tutorials we will be watching during class. There are many great examples of digital painting and fantasy work online. If you are considering going into animation you may want to put your drawing skills to the test and create your own composition.  We will be talking about contrast and separating your lights from your darks and developing highlights, midtones and shadows.
