Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Something new from R.L. Charpentier: Red River’s new Polar Metallic Paper

White Pocket in the RAW……Just exported with no bells or whistles

Sunday, March 28, 2010

I just returned from a quick trip to White Pocket this weekend. A run through of the area once more before my first workshop offered in the area. It’s been a few months, and I thought after the winter we’ve had that it would be appropriate to check out the conditions for access to the [...]

From Painting to Print – The Giclee Reproduction Process

Thursday, March 25, 2010

For months I’ve been meaning to do a post on the process I use at R.L. Charpentier Photography when I reproduce paintings for my clients.  Since I’m doing a quick small piece for a new client I thought I’d talk about what goes on here and share it with readers. Yesterday a local water color [...]
