"Color Falls IV" Encaustic on panel, 20" x20", 2010
Many people stay at a certain level with their encaustic painting because they see working at a larger scale as intimidating. It does present certain challenges, but when you understand how to overcome them, it can be a richly rewarding experience. This workshop will encourage you to work up to 24″ x 24″. It will address all aspects of working larger, from the planning and drawing stages, through preparation of the surface; understanding temperature control and how it facilitates working larger, handling color and glazing, as well as special effects, and finishing. A number of new techniques will be presented: use of dry pigment and oil paint on incised line, mixed media approaches, basic color and glaze theory, creating texture and working with photographic and other mixed media, as well as introduction to pouring! Most materials are included, but students will provide their own larger cradled panels. Uncradled panels will be available for sale.
