Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Project/Process
Prerequisite: None

More from less! Create a triptych based on either one or related photos. More than one painting can come from a single reference. Extract unrealized potential in your subjects. Explore approaches to cropping and tweaking your favorite photos for exciting new results. So many possibilities! Consider options for altering images, breaking away from normal procedures.

Identify ways to develop a theme. Learn ways to rethink composition. Discover how to make images within a triptych individually resolved, as well as related, yet different. Manipulate common design elements within three separate panels to strengthen their presentation as a whole. The real fun part is putting your own spin on interpretation within the triptych. To further personalize results, students, if desired, may choose to embellish surfaces with items brought with them.

One-on-one instruction emphasized. Take home a head full of new ways to think about working from photos and a fresh new painting series.
