June workshop

There were just three people in this introductory workshop, since two canceled at the last minutes, but it did give everyone the chance to go in their own direction and explore the magic of encaustics. We started earlier since the days continue to be quite warm.

June workshop

everyone has their own work station and all materials are supplied

I am hoping the weather will be cooler in June. I am changing the dates for later in the month and will keep my fingers crossed that the rains will start.

two new videos

I finally gave up trying to clean up the background noise in these videos...so these are just as taken in the studio.

Here is the video of the participants in an advanced technique class. I am always impressed and inspired by the talented artists who create original, unique painting in the workshop.

last workshop until June

I was concerned about the afternoon heat in the studio, so I asked all the participants to arrive an hour earlier - 9 instead of 10. They all did. It cooled down considerably today, the second day, because of a wind/dust "storm" last night that had me without electricity for a while. It was worth it to have a beautiful day today and no one had to break out in a sweat.

This group of five people was a dream to work with. Everyone quickly got the feel of the encaustic and the torch and created their own vision.

March advanced workshop

It was a full week of classes. This advanced workshop allowed me to show many techniques that can be used in encaustic.

We just finished the March introductory workshop.

I will have a day off tomorrow and start the advanced techniques Thursday.

I am often happily surprised that the wonderful work that is created by people who have never touched encaustic before.
