Then you will give them a painterly appearance as you transfer them to paper using a non-toxic, highly accessible process. Bring color or black and white prints, 35mm slides (higher contrast, saturated colors work well), and/or a few objects (leaves, flowers, etc.) to use for on-site prints. You will complete several finished pieces that can be further enhanced with hand coloring techniques, which will also be taught.

Have you ever experienced the moody depth of sky in a Japanese landscape print?
