New Encaustic Classes

 Where did the time go? I just realized that I haven't posted since August. Well. I was working on 12 new paintings and when I am involved in a series, I do forget about time. Check them out here: http://www.ezshwan.com/transformed-portraits.html

. The last advanced encaustic techniques videos were made 7 years ago and they are still valuable and instructive since all the basic instructions remain the same.   https://vimeo.com/ondemand/4167  I am missing my students and I am planning on creating new online classes with techniques that I haven't taught before

What I will be offering in the new classes:

Basic studio practices

Making milk paint for a white base for encaustic

Handling the heat source to get the results you want. 

Water color underpainting 

Rice paper collage

Drawing with a hot pen

Mark making with oil sticks, China marker, India ink, charcoal

Creating a smooth surface 

Texturizing with carving and/or water

How to make and apply a laser transfer

Stenciling with encaustic and/or cold wax, pan pastels

Using translucent layers

Cold wax over encaustic

Composition

Mixing colors

Benefits of an online class:

You do not have to buy all the supplies at first

You can stop any time without missing anything. 

Hours of unlimited access for a one time charge of $125 .

Private Zoom classes to work together one on one, and a critique, of your work, One hour for $50. 

If you are in San Miguel we could also plan a in person class. See video
