January 30- February 1 at waxworkswest in Corralitos, CA

1 spot open as of December 13, 2015

contact waxworkswest.com

This three-day workshop is for those who have had some experience with encaustic painting and who are interested in layering, texture and patterns to not only enrich the surface of their work but to build the structure within the painting. Along with creating patterns and texture demonstrations there will be transparent layering, inclusions and transfers. Combining these ways of working with your own individual voice is sure to enrich your work.

Lynda regards working in the studio as an exploration of ways to deepen and enrich her vision. Her process is intuitive. Being open to experimentation and discovery allows the environment and ideas to flow easily. This approach is very contagious in the workshops. Demonstrations are held periodically followed by periods of time to experiment. Participants may incorporate these methods into their own body of work. Texture and pattern not only enrich the surface of your work but can build the structure and complexity within the painting. Layering these patterns and textures creates another degree of complexity.

All materials are included.

This two-day workshop is for those who have had some experience with encaustic painting and who are interested in using texture and patterns to not only enrich the surface of their work but to build the structure within the painting. We will use the accretion technique, the heated palette knife/iron to create stalagmites of wax, a thick stencil to create pattern and the batik pen for serpentine lines. There will be additional hardware store items as well as tools that are usually used for other media available to use in your exploration of pattern and surface.

Lynda regards working in the studio as an exploration. Her process is intuitive. Being open to experimentation and discovery allows the environment and ideas to flow easily into her work.
