October 15:  "Let's Sing Your Song" This is about coming closer to what you as an artist want to say: Not my voice, but yours. I will help you find the tools and techniques you need to express yourself, and to create a series of paintings that reflect your creative self.    How do you come to that point of recognition?  Coming to it, how do you express it..what does the painting look like?  Technically, we will cover a variety of techniques, creating glaze layers, line and pigment, creating movement in a painting, color and vibrancy. This workshop is open to artists with encaustic experience, or artists new to encaustic who work in other mediums. In my Las Vegas Studio                Koment, series of panels 14" x14", encaustic on panels Each student will work on a group of paintings that will tell their story, that are all about themselves. It isn’t about techniques as an end, but at technique as a means toward what you want to achieve.

Let's let line aid in telling our story! With many different approaches possible, you can add line, texture, drawing..an entirely new dimension to your painting experience.. we will use crayon, charcoal, pigment, oil bars, and of course, wax, to help develop an entirely new dimension in your work ... TThree panels, with charcoal dimensions.. Many years ago now I developed what I called the Magic Line, and for a long time it was my secret. But now, it is something which I share. In addition to the "Magic Line": Crayon and pigment, we will work with the addition of charcoal, and how to create unusual and exciting effects. It will be an opportunity to bring a drawing element into your work..both on paper and panel. To explore an exciting world of new possibilities. To bring painting and drawing together. ALSO using the irregularities which you have created in the wax to catch pigment and charcoal to give you a wide range of special effects!
