Encaustic Techniques for Photographers
With Jill Burkholder
This 1 week workshop introduces photographers to the creative possibilities of using hot beeswax and pigments to enhance images and explore mixed media materials. Working with pigmented wax is an ancient method of adding color to an object or art piece. Participants learn the basics of working with encaustic materials plus the techniques needed to blend photography with this seductive medium.
This class covers preparing digital images with sufficient detail and local contrast to use with encaustic methods and adding images at different stages in the creation of an encaustic piece, at the beginning or during the process of adding wax layers. Students will practice printing images onto handmade papers and other inkjet papers and cotton fabric. Additional techniques include using stencils, imbedding objects and adding texture and color to encaustic pieces.
Participants will work with sample boards and practice various techniques and exercises for the first two days. The remaining workshop time will concentrate on developing methods and workflow specific to each individual’s personal style and images and photographing in the area.
There will be a supplies fee of about $40 and students will be invited to bring their own 8 x 10 panels or boards to create encaustic pieces.
