January 30- February 1 at waxworkswest in Corralitos, CA

1 spot open as of December 13, 2015

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.

Prerequisite: Encaustic Basics I or equivalent skills

Price: $440

December 19, Encaustic Workshop, The Visual Arts Center, Richmond, VA

1030am- 4pm

All Levels - Lynda Ray - Experience the process of working with the solvent-free, luminous colors of encaustic; ideal for beginners.

Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and resin. Techniques of melting and fusing the wax, making clean lines and edges, and methods of texture, and collage will be demonstrated and discussed. Encaustic is ideal for working abstractly or in a more representational style. A small wooden panel (4x5”) for each of the techniques demonstrated will be provided. Bring an optional 9x12 inch board for larger work. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools are supplied.
