Contemporary Realist Painter
Mastering Colour Fidelity in Digital Media
This webinar introduces the five domains of digital printmaking from the perspective of colour reproduction and colour fidelity across topics including monitor calibration, the preparation of digital images for print, selection of print media, colour management, and metamerism. Finally, Dr Les Walkling will give some pointers on lighting and displaying prints, as well as hard proofing on a local printer.
In this webinar Steve Forster gives us a taste of his digital creative process, in particular the way he approaches and creates diversity in colours and colour palettes. Starting with a brief overview of differences – and similarities – between the digital and traditional painting processes, he shows how he structures digital palettes when painting portraits, landscapes and more abstract themes. This is followed by a “wild colour” illustration where, building on a value structure (in the sense of Munsell), he goes on to use the full range of colour expression that digital tools provide.
The video recording is now available on the Colour Society of Australia YouTube – NSW Division channel, and like all of the webinars from our Creating Colours series, it will remain permanently available to the public.
