RetouchPRO LIVE "Disco" with Gretchen Hilmers

[Doug Nelson]

Our next all-new RetouchPRO LIVE show features the debut of another Amy Dresser protégé, Gretchen Hilmers.

Gretchen's portfolio is very impressive, with many examples you'll recognize from your own magazine browsing. She's younger and therefore a bit earlier on the career curve than many of our other presenters, so she should have some unique and useful perspectives about the current pro retouching scene. Plus she's very funny.

Watch Gretchen's screen live as she performs this fashion retouch from start-to-finish. She'll answer audience questions about her technique as she works, and more general questions at the end of the show (time permitting).

Saturday, July 30, 4pm CDT (see link below for other time zones)

Less than 2 hours left. This is going to be a fun show. Gretchen is a hoot, and I'm looking forward to seeing her liquify and background knockout technique (plus all the rest).

In retrospect, I should have mentioned that her clients include Ford, Microsoft, Los Angeles Magazine, and Universal.

I think RP LIVE now has it's official Manic Pixie Dream Girl (but only in the best possible way).

Attached are the two brush sets Gretchen used in her show.

Here are the brush links she mentioned:

This show is now available for rental.

Gretchen was an unexpected firehose of information. Starting with tips for retouchers looking for their first pro gig, she then started work on this deceptively-simple looking start-to-finish retouch.

I don't think there was a single technique that she used in precisely the same manner I'd already seen, and there were several techniques I'd never seen anywhere. So many tips and techniques, in fact, that she barely got them all into the 2 1/2 hour running time (but she did).

Renters will have a distinct advantage over live viewers in that they can pause, backup, and rewatch to more fully digest the trainload of information presented.
