For photographers AND painters..

Basic Lighting 101- A Balancing Act workshop Sept 11 1:30-4:30pm

Unlock the power of ONE light and transform the way you see your subjects. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to balance strobe + natural light to create beautiful, dimensional portraits using simple affordable tools.

This workshop is designed for photographers of all levels, but also incredibly valuable for painters, illustrators, and mixed media artists who want a better understanding of how light sculpts faces, bodies, and objects.

If you have not yet taken a class taught by Jackii Molsick, let me tell you what you're missing.
A thoughtfully planned experience that will leave you with the assurance and confidence to continue on your own (although why not come back for more)
A wealth of knowledge that you may not expect from someone so humble and unlikely to brag about herself, but her list of accomplishments would exceed this post's word count...
A lively and comfortable learning environment built solely on Jackii's steady presence.

Have I convinced you yet, to join one of Jackii's classes? View the full calendar and register at https://www.leesburgarts.com/adult-art-classes
