Encaustic Enthusiasts

What fun! Last week, I was able to introduce 3 people  to the excitement painting in encaustic.

There are people interested in the encasutic portrait classes and I have been encouraged to create an online class.
A beginning could be taking my online classes in drawing and painting faces. There are 10 classes using different mediums. No encaustic at this point. Click the link below to preview.

Another encaustic experience

It is a wonderful privilege to introduce artists to the encaustic technique. Paul, an accomplished artist with Disney wanted to add encaustic to his field of art techniques. We covered a lot of techniques in the one day he was working with me in the studio.
His main interest was creating textured layers, so one of the first things I showed him was spraying water into the molten wax.

New format for the encasutic workshops

I am now offering 3 day intensive workshops that include transportation from town to my home/studio/gallery that is a 15 minute drive  into the country.

Of course, the 2 day workshops are still happening. The 3 days is for you artists who just are not ready to stop after the first 2 day of fun and creativity.

This is a relaxing event that closes on the third day with wine and critiques.

The dates are posted. I am considering weekend classes for those of you who work during the week. What do you think?

Donnis commented,
"Ezshwan, I so loved the encaustic class!  I enjoy being a beginner and learning something new...especially when it is so much fun and satisfying.  I plan to take more classes from you when I return next summer and know of two others who will join me.  You are a wonderful patient teacher.  I appreciate everything about the class.  As I walk around San Miguel I have been noticing surfaces which look like encaustic..."
