Encaustic Workshops, February 2012 -- Part Deaux

It's been a while since the remaining two workshops.....I've been travelling, moving, painting the walls of the new place and working on a couple of commissions. So now, I'm just finding the time, early in the morning to get this post completed.

The remaining two workshops were just as fun as the first two. The beauty of workshops is that each one takes on a personality of its own. Some workshops are loud with raucous laughter, others are quieter, with students heavily concentrating on their work. Either way, all work stations began their day with a complete set up. I charge a full price for my workshops, so I do not skimp on the tools or supplies for each student. This is what each student started with each morning, which I think is a pretty good set up:

As you can see in the above photo, each student receives a substrate (canvas) upon which to apply the encaustic paint, multiple brushes, carving tools, texture tools, stencil supplies, and other implements to manipulate the colors in the pots on the hot griddle.

Here are photos of students at work, followed by their paintings:

This is a close-up of the kind of texture an artist can create utilizing one of the techniques I taught. 

The beginning classes were so successful, I have an interest list already built for a second set of beginning classes. Yippee! I think we'll do them towards the end of May. Plus, many of my students are interested in an Intermediate Class where we'll learn more techniques, such as image transfer, more embedding techniques, and possibly the shellac burn technique. Stay tuned for more information on when those workshops will be scheduled!

In the meantime, keep scraping to uncover, discover and discard!!

Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that.

    I like to think of myself as a creative soul, living the dream in Panama. Truth be told, I'm just trying to negotiate life’s passages on this rock upon which we’ve landed. I would like to do that with as much dignity as possible and without wreckage, hurt feelings and tears. I can do that. At least until I get out of bed.
