Class Description:

Join instructor Sarah Rehmer, who wrote the book on working with encaustic and photography, for this exciting journey of mixing mediums. This workshop is designed for both painters and photographers interested in gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their studio practice through the combination of encaustic, collage, and black and white photography. Explore a range of subject matters, as well as mixing media and techniques to create dynamic hybrid artworks.
 
Demonstrations introduce you to the basics of encaustic painting and digital printing, while we will explore ways to further alter our photographic images through a series of markings and underpainting combined with monochromatic imagery. We will focus on incorporating embedded photo prints on thin papers such as tissue and Japanese papers, as well as image transfers to create final work that is both ethereal and richly detailed in its layers. We will start off utilizing various methods of underdrawings to bring in pattern and additional detail to our work, with wood burning tools, inks, oil paints, and encaustic.

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. Bring a variety of subject matters to pock from 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 dickblick.com, (Blick has various brands) in various sizes. The maximum size should be 11x14 / 12x12-  cradled panels on these. Consider getting some rectangular and some square boards so you can explore various layouts.
