Buffalo Art Group
Tansholpan Barney
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting.
You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

    I was born and raised in beautiful Thessaloniki Greece in 1973, a city in Northern Greece right in the heart of the ancient land of Macedonia. My hometown is a hub for arts and honestly, a perfect place for a young photographer.
    Photography was never a hobby for me. It was always a passion, my career and my work.

    Konstantinos Tsigkrelis is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays morning. For any other day pr time we can talk about my availability and maybe something can be arranged.
    I can do private tutoring about any subject around photography or even video production, and photography editing of any kind.
    Other sessions that I do is portraits of any kind, from the simplest professional headshot and beyond. The sky is the limit.

    On a rare warm day at the beginning of the month of March on my way back to my car after capturing a very few photos of birds (I guess it was still to cold for birds to fly back to this area) I was rewarded with this shot of these two trying to get each other attention.

    I took a photography road trip across NY State in mid October to capture the fall foliage. Along the way I stopped at the Belhurst Castle and Winery on Seneca Lake. I knew the pier would be a perfect opportunity to capture a fine art image.

    A photo of a Tree Swallow taken during a walk through the meadowlands. These birds are extremely quick and erratic often difficult to photograph. Luckily this one decided to take a little posing break and allowed me a nice shot. Taken with my Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600 mm lens.

    Title or Location: Leicester, England.
    Once a month, or so, I would go into my home town of Leicester early on a Sunday morning to take some photos before there were too many people around. This particular morning there was light rain and the sun was trying to break through. The scene was great but the sky was uninspiring so a better sky was added and then processed in DXO's NIK Silver Efex.The camera was my trusty Ricoh GRIII which has a great lens and small enough to put in your pocket.
