Chromatic Alchemy: Hand-Tinting Photos with Oil Paint

About This Event

Turn black-and-white photos into pastel works of art with sheer oil layers. A meditative, hands-on workshop—no experience needed. Step into my color laboratory, where monochrome memories await their transformation. In this hands-on workshop, black-and-white photographs become the raw material for magic. Using sheer layers of oil paint, you’ll learn how to hand-color your images—slowly coaxing blush into cheeks, clarity into skies of blue, and subtle tone into shadow. We’ll explore translucency and glow, discovering how color can whisper rather than shout. This is part technique, part meditation. Brushstroke by brushstroke, you’ll transform gray tones into something personal and alive. No painting experience necessary—just curiosity, and a willingness to turn grayscale into a rainbow. You can provide me with an image I can make into a black and white glossy photo or bring your own! No experience necessary—just curiosity and creativity. Beginner and family friendly - 10+ years!
