Description

Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Saturday, August 26 from 10 am to 4 pm to explore upsizing encaustic paintings. Space is limited, so register early—you won’t want to miss out.

“I’m often looking for ways to challenge myself, or mix up my work with something less common. One way to do that? Go LARGER! It’s a perfect way to push your skills and make you think a little differently about what you want to say in your work and how you achieve it. So I’m offering this workshop where we will try our hand (and brush) on panels that are larger than what I typically offer.”

In this workshop we will:

• Do a brief review of working with wax—even I need this as a warmup
• Discuss the type of supports, materials, and tools that aid in larger paintings
• Work on one larger cradled wood panel, either 16 x 20 or 18 x 24

As always, there will be demonstrations and group discussion, as well as individual work time and one-on-one time with Candace to 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 items) you might like to incorporate into your artwork.

Sign up early and get the early-bird price! The cost is just $150 until August 11 or $175 for later registrations.

Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Saturday, June 24 from 10 am to 4 pm to explore the number of ways we can incorporate marks in our encaustic paintings. Space is limited, so you won’t want to miss out.

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 incising or inlays? 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.

Sign up early and get the early-bird price! The cost is just $140 until June 9 or $165 for later registrations.

Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Saturday, April 15 from 10 am to 4 pm for a day of learning about creating art with encaustic. Space is limited, so you won’t want to miss out. This will be the only Introduction to Encaustic I offer this year.

The workshop is ideal for artists who are new to the medium and interested in gaining more knowledge about working with wax and getting hands-on experience. All the equipment and materials are provided, so this is a risk-free way for you to try something new and different. It may spark ideas and creativity in your own current work. But be warned—you may even find it as magical as I do and want to learn more!

We’ll be covering:

• The equipment used for this medium and how to safely work with each
• Materials and tools for the best painting results
• Adding stencils and mark-making—a couple of popular techniques

Demonstrations and group discussion, as well as individual work time and one-on-one time with me will fill out the day.

As always, the equipment, paints, panels, and more are provided. All you need to bring is your willingness to explore and have fun.

Sign up early and get the early-bird price! The cost is just $140 until March 31 or $165 for later registrations.

Description

Join visual artist Candace Law at Articipate in Berkley on Saturday, December 3 from 12:30 – 4:30 pm for an encaustic workshop with stencils.

This workshop is for any artist who is curious about this versatile medium and wants to explore ways to incorporate it into their own work.

The day will start with a brief review of the basics, priming and painting, then move to this fun technique of using melted wax and stencils to create shapes, patterns, and even texture.

New to encaustic? This is the perfect time to learn about this medium without investing in the equipment and supplies.

Worked with hot wax before? Use this as a refresher session and bring in any questions or problems you’ve been having to discuss and find solutions.

There will be demonstrations, along with individual work time and one-on-one time with me, giving ample opportunity to explore the materials and tools. 

All equipment, paints, and most materials are included. Wood panels will be provided for painting, and stencils along with some items and papers for collaging or embedding will be available.

Participants are welcome to bring along any additional items they might like to work with, such as decorative papers, beads, found objects or other small mementos. Apron or studio clothes are suggested.

Class size is limited, so sign up early!
