Class description
Be inspired and push your work into beautiful transparent layers. This 3-day retreat workshop encompasses essential techniques, using your photos as collage, color-mixing and color theory as well as studio time to create a body of work. The focus is on creating imagery and expanding your voice with encaustic.
Artists will build images layer-by-layer combining multi-media techniques such as image transfers, making your own stencils and texture while gaining confidence to push boundaries with individual feedback and inspiration.
You will create artworks that will develop your aesthetic and artistic voice with Encaustic.
A brief history and description of Encaustic painting will be discussed as well as basic supplies and tools, safety and preparation of substrates. There will also be lots of work time with individual feedback! The workshop is great for beginners as well as experienced artists.
