Happy New Year!

This Friday, 10 January, Van Greaves FRPS will judge the 2nd Merit PDI competition 

On Friday 17 we have a Zoom talk at the club room “Working with Textures” by Jane Lazenby BA(Hons), ASEA, SAAPA, QTFE2, UKCPS. LRPS, BPE5*, DPAGB, EFIAP/b FMPA. The talk will be split into 2 halves. In the first part, Jane will answer all the What and How questions when she will go through sorting and creating textures, how to use blend modes and then show 3 different methods of applying textures to an image.

After the break Jane will do a live edit of images submitted by club members using textures to create final pieces. Jane says she will travel slowly through the technical aspects and repeat steps if requested.

If you would like Jane to work on one of your images then please send a jpeg of around 5MB to Calvin  calvin.downes@btinternet.com by Sunday 12 January.
