Encaustic Monotypes and Paper Lanterns

Sunday, January 27, 2019, 10 am - 4 pm, $200 (SOLD OUT)
Location: Portland, Oregon

Many people think working in encaustic offers instant gratification and that creating encaustic monotypes finally makes that dream a reality. And it does...sort of. These one-of-a-kind wax prints are made quickly and reward the spontaneous child in all of us, but you need to know a few techniques to control your wax and get the look you want. During this class I'll show you all of my tips to help make that happen.

In this process you paint directly on the hot palette and press paper onto the painting to pick up a unique print. What you end up with is a painting on paper with a very thin layer of wax and a very different look from anything you would paint directly onto paper or panel.

We'll start out with 5" x 7" prints, then everyone will get some time on my professional R&F palette to make larger prints as well. I'll also discuss how you can easily create monotypes at home using your pancake griddle and an inexpensive printing plate. You'll make lots of little prints that can be used as finished art, original cards or to warm up to work on larger paintings. You can also use your favorite prints to make a beautiful paper lanterns, ready to be illuminated with a votive candle.

All wax, brushes, basic tools and other materials will be provided for you and most students leave class with at least ten 5" x 7" prints and several larger ones. Once you get the hang of it these can be made very quickly.

If you have any favorite rubber stamps or stencils you may find new uses for them in this class. Confirmation, directions to my studio and additional information will be emailed to each student upon registration. Space is limited to 5 students so classes fill quickly.
