SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6 & SATURDAY NOVEMBER 13
WAX OVER WATER
2-DAY ZOOM WORKSHOP
Overview: Encaustics, oils with beeswax, and watercolors all have unique luminous qualities. When combined, the results can be revelatory.
In this 2-part workshop, you’ll explore ways of combining these media such that light seems to emanate from behind or within the painting. While the focus will be based on abstracted landscapes, the information shared in the sessions will be applicable to imagery of any kind.
We’ll take an experimental approach to this process with a guiding principle inspired by the visual equivalent to jazz pianist Thelonius Monk’s remark: The piano ain’t got no wrong notes.
Prerequisites: It would be helpful for participants to have some basic experience working with encaustics; although your encaustic work can happen between our two Zoom sessions – you do not need to have access during the Zoom sessions.
At minimum, this includes access to a hot plate in an appropriately ventilated workspace to melt the encaustic medium and a heat gun to fuse the wax to the surface of the panels on which you will paint.
