Fine Art Inkjet Printing Workshop-Sat. April 4

I’m conducting a fine-art inkjet printing workshop next Saturday, April 4, from 2-6pm at Alfa Art Gallery (where I currently have an exhibition on display). I have extended the early registration discount until 3/31/2009. This is a four hour workshop focused primarily on helping photographers and other artists to set up a color-managed system from display to print. I’ll also be giving an overview of the prints on display at the gallery (papers and printers used).

Many of the images will be shown for the first time ever.

“New York City has held a special place in my heart and soul for as long as I can remember, says Darlow. The city’s landmarks, from iconic restaurants to historic bridges and skyscrapers, have drawn me in with their magical beauty and presence. Through this body of work, I intend to share my love for the city, while giving viewers a look through my lens.”

The printing processes Darlow chose for this show includes canvas, fiber gloss/fiber semi-gloss, and watercolor papers, all produced by Darlow on Epson and HP pigment ink printers.
