LEARN HOW TO CREATE AMAZING PRINTS WITHOUT A PRESS
Experience the joy and immediacy of “pulling” an encaustic monotype from a heated encaustic palette. You’ll draw with pigmented wax and incorporate spontaneous mark making that will ignite your creativity and intuition. The results are astonishing and rewarding.
Additional techniques including stenciling, stamping and blocking will be explored. Whether used as a primary body of work or combined with mixed media, collage or book arts, encaustic monotypes offer endless possibilities for today’s artist. No prior experience in encaustic painting or printmaking is necessary, however some experience with encaustic is preferred.
Demos and discussion include:
How different types of paper react to wax and pigment
How temperature affects the print’s outcome
The various effects using encaustic medium and pigment
Layering color
How to use other materials including India ink, pastel, oil sticks, graphite into your work
