Photography: Lighting from A to Z

Free Photography Lighting webinar class online at CreativeTechs presented by Rosanne Olson. Join me there!

Progressing from continuous light to strobes, we explore the differences between the two and observe some of the light modifiers that create catch lights as found in magazines. Doing this will give depth to the understanding of lighting. Many photographers do not work with strobes in their normal photography endeavors, but an understanding of how they work can lead to the ultimate goal of creating beautiful light. This is an important step in the continuum of lighting concepts.

Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2010Time: 11am Pacific (Seattle) [Other Time Zones]Duration: 90-120 MinutesCost: The LIVE classes are FREE for all to attend! You can also purchase the complete 10-week course of downloadable files in Hi-Res and iPod versions for $35 up until Feb. 28, 2010 or $79 after.

Art Journal Techniques & Tips by Teesha Moore

I absolutely adore art by Teesha Moore and I have always loved the way she described the techniques she uses in her Art Journals. Teesha has now visualized those words by making a series of instructional videos on each one of the steps she uses in her Art Journals and they are posted on her blog and are also available to view on YouTube. There is one video that illustrates and describes, in detail, the technique for each one of the individual steps Teesha uses to complete a journal page.

If you would like to know more about the "how to" of Art Journaling" or would like to learn some new tips and techniques, I would urge you to take a look at Teesha's videos.

You can see them on Teesha's Blog "Teesha's Circus" @ http://teeshascircus.blogspot.com
OR
You can view them directly on YouTube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqrcB49uS9M&feature=player_embedded

I suggest you take a look at Teesha's blog regardless of where you view the instructional videos. Teesha's blog is nothing short of candy for the artist's eye. It is chock full of inspiration, color, tips and tricks, and she shares the secrets of some of the supplies she loves to use in her work.

Check it out!!! You won't be disappointed! I promise!!

Hugs & Happy Creating! Julie
