Mark-Making with Encaustic | Friday, March 14

Description

Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Friday, March 14 from 10 am to 4 pm to explore the many ways we can incorporate marks in our encaustic paintings.

One of my absolute favorite things to do on any piece I’m painting is to make marks of some kind. Artist Paul Klee once said “A line is a dot that went for a walk”. I’ve never met a line I didn’t like, and dots or scribbles are just as interesting, adding layers and greater depth to the surface of your artwork.

We’ll talk about some of the specific materials that pair well with wax. Ever tried drawing on wax or incising? This is your chance to spend a day experimenting and opening up your imagination. To add to the fun, we’ll pull out a selection of pigment sticks to enhance our marks or create subtle glazes. As always, there will be demonstrations and group discussion, as well as individual work time and one-on-one time with me will fill out the day.

The equipment, materials and most supplies for the workshop are provided. Feel free to bring any materials (found objects, papers or other small items) you might like to incorporate into your artwork. You’ll be working with small to medium-sized panels (up to 9” x 12”) so you can complete at least one piece by the end of the day.

Workshops have been filling fast and space is limited, so you won’t want to miss out. And sign up early to get the early-bird price! The cost is just $145 until March 7 or $175 for later registrations.
