Digital Canvas
Jonathan Stars will demonstrate a method he has developed over the past 15 years by which he uses Photoshop to turn photos into artwork on canvas. He will bring some finished pieces and show the photos they came from. Then he'll take a photo through the process (while attendees make suggestions). Although it won't be possible to produce a final painting, you will be able to see what the finished work would look like.
