Secrets of Creating Depth
Sat, April 14, 10 am - 4 pm, $200
Location: Portland, Oregon
When I ask artists what first attracted them to working with encaustic, most tell me it was the depth and luminosity of wax paintings. I agree; that's what drew me in too. There are some tried and true methods to creating depth in your paintings and that depth allows light to enter the layers of paint and reflect back to the surface, creating that luminous glow.
I'll take you through these methods as we layer paint, paper, and other materials for differing effects. We'll talk about the importance of paint types, layering "recipes" and my favorite way to trick the eye into perceiving more layers than there really are. When gathering materials consider items that relate to one another like images and text about your family or a using a botanical theme.
All supplies will be provided and you will leave class with at least 2 projects, but additional boards will be available. Feel free to bring rubber stamps and stamp pads, dried plants, thin papers or printed napkins to incorporate into your work. Confirmation, directions to my studio and additional information will be emailed to each student upon registration. Space is limited to 6 students so classes fill quickly.
This is an intermediate class for those comfortable working with wax. If you haven't taken a beginning encaustic class you will have to complete one before learning these advanced techniques. Feel free to call me with any questions.
NOTE: If the date you want is listed below then there is still room in that class.
