Learn All the Basics of Working with Encaustic August 10, 10-4

-

Ellen Koment will teach you all you need to know to work with this very ancient technique! What materials you need, and how to get them, and then, how to work with them!


                                                                                                               
join Ellen Koment and Karine Swenson for  a fun weekend of encaustic painting. We will be teaching together in Karine's brand new Santa Fe studio. You don't want to miss this! This class is appropriate for beginners as well as artists who have used encaustic before, but want to learn more. And remember, we taught encaustic together in the Schoolhouse in Madrid!
We will explore the basics of encaustic painting including: making your own encaustic medium, making colors, fusing with a torch, carving into the wax, building texture, collage, color theory and even how to pour!

Ellen Koment has been teaching encaustic for twenty five years. Her first show with encaustic paint was in Portland Oregon, photo based encaustics. As one of the pioneers of encaustic painting, she offers years of experience with the medium that few other artists have.

Let's let line aid in telling our story! With many different approaches possible, you can add line, texture, drawing..an entirely new dimension to your painting experience.. we will use crayon, charcoal, pigment, oil bars, and of course, wax, to help develop an entirely new dimension in your work ...

It will be an opportunity to bring a drawing element into your work..both on paper and panel. To explore an exciting world of new possibilities. To bring painting and drawing together. ALSO using the irregularities which you have created in the wax to catch pigment and charcoal to give you a wide range of special effects! ...
