Nina Rizzo

Artist Nina Rizzo presented a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts workshop entitled “Oil and Silver: Hand-tinting Black and White Photographs” on October 4, 2003 in Blacksburg.

Sponsored locally by the Blacksburg Regional Art Association, the workshop was held at Glade Church Gallery.

Starting with black and white images printed on semi-matte surface fiber base papers, students will learn to use oil paints and Marshall’s pencils to create both realistic and imaginative photographs. Students need to provide 2-3 fiber base matte surface prints of their own images that have been toned in Kodak Sepia Toner.

Rizzo will give a slide presentation of hand-tinting techniques, including slides of both her own works and other photographers working in this expressive medium.

This program has been organized and partially funded by the Office of Statewide Partnerships of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond.
