How soon can we get one. I'm ready now. I want to do it now.
I will have a DVD of the class and a download and a rental. All three just as fast as I can make them. I film on Wens. and the videographer said it would take 2 weeks to edit. I plan on nagging him to get it done sooner.Poor guy, he had no idea what he was getting into with me....and all of you!
If you want to do something while you wait, for the DVD, start looking for your picture. Here are the main things for your piece to be successful.
1. High contrast. If your picture is too much of the same color and same value, it will be difficult to create with this method.
2. Chose a picture that has a distance perspective to it. In other words, something close, something in the middle distance and something far away. A road, a path, a river passing through the scene can give you perspective. Mountains in the distance help as well. Landscapes and flower gardens are the easiest things to create for your first piece but people have been successful with their pets IF the pet has high contrast in his markings. I have found great inspiration in my gardening magazines!
A good way to judge your picture ( in other words "does it have enough contrast?") is to make a black and white copy of it with your printer. Can you see all the main parts of the picture?
There, that ought to keep you busy for a while!
