Encaustic: Enhancing collage with encaustic medium or beeswax is a natural extension of mixed media studio practice. It is as if beeswax and paper were made for each other. Encaustic wax gives paper a luminous quality and sometimes makes it translucent, which is great for layering. Layering, glazing, embedding, stylus incising, subtractive impressions and markmaking and some of the basic techniques we will explore in combination with our narrative images. Composition: Artists have a general idea of composition and what to add first and second and so on. But then all of the principles and elements of art add jumble and hesitation as we try to take those first critical steps toward a meaningfully structured mixed media piece. And carrying it through to completion without some kind of a roadmap can be tough. This workshop helps us build that roadmap through Alignment, Breathing space, and Thirds. |

The Project – create a narrative encaustic collage that tells a compelling story using photos and textures. The Process – create two encaustic collages on substrates. Explore effective story-telling composition. Enhance the wax and images with mixed-media techniques. The Goal – enjoy learning about the beauty of beeswax as a mixed-media tool while developing your skills in collage composition. About the Teacher:
