During the workshop participants will work with a variety of tools, botanical materials, transparent as well as opaque colors along with unique rubber stencils. There will also be an opportunity to explore marks using an encaustic stylus. A complex web of connections is made through the layering of patterns, colors and marks. The transparent character of the paint reveals a history of the work’s development. Embedded in each layer there can be patterns and textures which lend the viewer to a very satisfying visceral experience. Many techniques will be introduced and how you combine them will be your individual voice. Basic ways of working will be developed during these 4 days where each participant will work on a number of pieces. You will develop another layer of complexity to your work without abandoning a good painting idea by incorporating these new techniques. You will broaden and deepen your visual idea. Wherever you are in your work, either a very beginner or more advanced painter you will move to the next level. If participants have worked with encaustic before, please bring in some pieces that you may want to continue to work on. Understanding the properties of encaustic is the first step to incorporating it into your own work. Participants will emerge with a range of skills to deepen the content of their work and the confidence to create using the new abilities learned in class.
