Photographs & Encaustic Art
Photo Images & Beeswax Medium -

We will be working with your photo images, exploring ways to create different effects
and moods with encaustic beeswax medium.
Give your photos a new dimension. There is so much you can do with a photo - encaustic, explore, discover. Black & White and Colour. High contrast or soft.
There are two basic methods at the root of photo image work and encaustic:
1) Transfer of emulsion from your photo to a wax layer (the paper is removed)
2) Using or imbedding your photo paper directly into the wax layer
These two functions open an endless opportunity to create with encaustic and
your photo images. You can work with the full image or just a part of it.
Instructions and information will be given prior to workshop, You can prepare your image before the workshop to use in many ways.

Maple & Encaustic Art

Impression in wax is just one technique.
We started with a Big Pancake Breakfast (on Saturday AM) with lots of local Fosterholm Farms Maple Syrup, then moved into the studio for our Maple-inspired encaustic workshop.
In our Maple-themed weekend workshop, we used using Maple imagery, leaves, wood, colours,
patterns and more. Lots of casual fun and encaustic art that celebrates the County's first harvest.
I pre-mixed Maple coloured “encaustic paint colours” for tinting.
