about the commercial paints and their applications,
about supports, grounds and techniques:
paint application, fusing, glazing, inscribing
and mixed media approaches, safety, materials,
demos of applying paint, glazing, fusing,
How to get that smooth surface! Introducing mixed media,
creating lines and texture.
I will emphasize how these techniques
can be developed to create a unique encaustic language
for each student.
I will talk (and demo) how to create glaze layers,
as well as some special techniques like inscribing.
You will leave with a printout containing
all the information you need as well as a list of suppliers.
I give participants a thorough introduction to the encaustic medium method.
Artists with backgrounds in almost any medium will find
these workshops are an exciting opportunity
to expand their visual vocabulary with wax.
Some who attend have some familiarity with encaustic,
others don't, but want to expand their artistic experience.
This mix of artists adds to the learning experience
and often inspires all to try new techniques.
In the advanced classes, we focus on
surfacing, embedding, transparencies,
glazing and hot pen, image transfers,
India ink mark making and more.
We will explore combining oil and encaustic and dipping.
You should have several finished paintings after the workshops.
I will supply all the materials, encaustic paint.
brushes, support panels, electric tools,
scrapers and propane torches,
as well as showing how you can make your own paints
and set up your own encaustic studio.
If you want to bring some things to collage you can.
Old drawings or prints or photographs
can combine with encaustic,
but the paper must be porous and not glossy or coated.
Encaustic works with almost anything but acrylic or plastics.
Experiment with all the materials and
create your own finished encaustic paintings in class.
The workshops are held in my home studio
from 10 a.m. to 4p.m. each day.
This allows the participants hundreds of examples
of my encaustic painting over the last 16 years,
including "what not to do!"
Cancellations 2 weeks before the workshop
