Photo + Encaustic: Ethereal Markings and Monochrome Workshop

Join me in Door County WI on June 20-23 for this exciting 4 day workshop.

Concept
This workshop is designed for both painters and photographers interested in gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their studio practice through the combination of encaustic, collage, and black and white photography. Explore a range of subject matter, paper rusting techniques, and methods for mixing media to create dynamic hybrid artworks.

Experience
Demonstrations introduce you to the basics of encaustic painting and digital printing, while hands-on practice explores ways to further alter monochromatic imagery with mark making. Begin by utilizing various methods of underdrawings to bring in pattern and additional detail to the work, such as wood burning tools, inks, oil paints, and encaustic. Focus is placed on incorporating embedded photo prints on thin papers such as tissue and Japanese papers, as well as image transfers to create final work that is both ethereal and richly detailed in its layers. Individualized feedback is provided throughout the week.
