Photo Encaustic: Ethereal Markings and Monochrome
October 21st-23rd, 2022
LaGrange Art League
9 am to 4pm each day
Limit 5 students
 
Intermediate level class
Supply fee: $50 collected at workshop
 
Supply List

• Roll of paper towels. These should be Viva brand or shop towels from the hardware store. Hot wax soaks through others too quickly.
• Roll of 1” 3M blue painter’s tape. Do not buy the Duck brand, it does not have enough tack.
• Jump drive with your images for printing onsite. Landscape and architectural photos work best. Bring a variety to choose from and experiment with. Photos should be sized at 11x14”, 300ppi resolution. We will adjust for final print size during the workshop.
• 3-4 birch panels to work on. I suggest ordering these from cheapjoes.com or dickblick.com, (specifically the Joe’s Prime Cradled Painting Panels (standard or extra-deep) or Blick has various brands) in various sizes. The maximum size should be 11x14 / 12x12-  cradled panels on these please. Consider getting some rectangular and some square boards so you can explore various layouts.
• 3- or 4-pack of small Ampersand Encausticboards.
• Sketchbook and pencil for sketching and note taking
• Apron or smock
• Roll of baking parchment paper
• Small spray bottle for water
