Discovering Oil and Cold Wax
Oil and Cold Wax Workshops - Description
These workshops offers students an opportunity to break free from expectation and discover oil painting without a brush. With R&F Pigment Sticks as our oil paint and Gamblin's cold wax medium, we will build up layers of paint using a variety of methods, discover new tools and ways of working to create rich and authentic small works on paper.
2020-2021 Encaustic Workshops
Encaustic and Mixed Media
Encaustic Experience
Encaustic Workshops - Description
The word Encaustic, from the Greek language, means "to heat" or "to burn in" which refers to the process of fusing the beeswax-based paint after each layer of application. The paint is heated on a hot palette and applied with natural bristle brushes. Layering, scraping, glazing and many other options are possible with this incredible medium. Students will gain a working knowledge of painting with encaustic and an appreciation for its surface quality and versatility. Studio set-up and safety will also be covered.
Encaustic Supports
Encaustic paint is best used on a rigid surface that is both absorbent and heat resistant. Ampersand and R&F Handmade Paints have teamed up to develop an amazing panel called Encausticbord™ that is made especially for the unique demands of encaustic painting. Encausticbord gives artists a super-absorbent, smooth, bright white surface that is ready to go and provides a beautiful, professional presentation for encaustic paintings.
CUSTOMIZED LEARNING
For Individuals and Small Groups
My home studio doubles as a comfortable and safely equipped workshop for private lessons and small group (4 students max.) instruction. A full day for 2 = $200 each, for example, and includes all supplies. Private lessons are slightly higher. Please contact me for scheduling.
