Sept. encaustic workshop

Anna

 I had just two people in the September workshop, so I changed the original direction of the class. Verity, from Australia, has had encaustic experience, but was looking for some technical assistance and several advanced techniques. Anna, a new resident of San Miguel wanted to add encaustic to her existing oil paintings and try as many techniques as she could squeeze into two days.


Giving these classes gives me the opportunity to make new friends as well as sharing all that I have discovered in my 13 years of using encaustic.

encaustic studio rental

After people have taken both the introductory and advanced encaustic workshops with me, I offer the opportunity to rent my studio for a day or two, and use all my materials. That way one can work, or play on their own without instruction, although, if I am close to the studio, I will answer questions and offer suggestions.

Here are photos of three of the four artists who were working in the studio today.

there is still room in the September workshop.

 Come join us for a fun-filled two days with all materials provided. Sept 19 & 20

Second Day

 This workshop was a breeze for me. Everyone was a professional painter and they took off with the technique and made individual, beautiful paintings. And they all want to come back for another workshop soon.

Three of these artist never touched encaustic before. Can you guess which ones?

July workshop

This was the first day of my 55th workshop! I am so blessed to meet such great people, many of whom become lasting friends. Two of the women are from Mexico City. It was a chance to practice my Spanish. I have a long way to go before I can explain the encaustic process in Spanish.

More tomorrow.

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.
