FRIDAY

Friday 1-3 | Tofi
In this two-hour seminar, Tofi will speak about how he has built a 25-year career in tattooing by focusing on his own original style. He will share the techniques and approaches that have allowed him to work without copying others, following trends, or taking direction that limits his personal expression.
Artists interested in developing their own artistic path in tattooing are encouraged to attend.
Friday 1-3 | Deanna James: The foundation of painterly tattoos
The crazy thing about this color seminar is that you’re going to learn how it’s more important to know values than color. This seminar is for the black and grey artists who have never done color to better understand it, for the color artist who wants to develop a more unique and mature style, or the artist who wants to become more efficient. After this seminar, “color theory” isn’t going to be a scary art term for you. My job as a teacher is to break down everything so it’s easy to understand, which I have developed over years of teaching to perfect.
Friday 3-5 - Luigi Mansi - Q&A con Luigi Mansi

Progettazione e realizzazione dello stencil

Studio dello schema colori (black & grey + colori)
