P309 - Encaustic Collage in the Evening

[back to quicklinks]
$ 80  

This class will help the student to break free of the fears or stumbling blocks that are frequently encountered when facing a blank canvas or trying a new technique. There will be some discussion about working intuitively, trusting the creative voice within, and following that voice to a satisfying finished work of art. The students will create a collage on canvas board and then enhance and protect the collage with encaustic wax medium. Discussion will include how to choose the right adhesive for the job, the use of encaustics versus regular beeswax as a finish layer, adding color, and displaying the finished work. The students should leave the workshop with at least one completed work of art and the knowledge to apply these techniques to other projects. 

Use of materials supplied by me will include encaustic wax, paintbrush, heatgun, iron, etc.
