EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE: ALL ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

-


Through the years, with so many students, I have been so impressed with the successes they have had.



 Many with great successes. 

Shawna Moore has been hugely successful. Take a look at her site  www.shawnamoore.com Shawna is now in Whitefish, Montana, but shows all over the country.

And of course, Belen Millan. Belen took a working large workshop, and then went on to suggest that we do a workshop in Malaga, Spain. And we did two of them, with people from all over the world. And her work now is very different, take a look at www.belenmillan.com

And more locally, I love the work of Harriette Tsosie. Harriette is not native, but her husband Cat, is. And her work reflects her life in another world. Take a look at www.harriettetsosie.com

I wish I had photos from all these people, but please, do take a look at their websites And remember that anything and everything is possible!

But mostly remember that a workshop designed just for you allows you to decide exactly what you want to learn, and how I can help you.

SO: When can you do it?? 
You set the dates; Most days in April, May, June, July or August.
Come and also explore this beautiful historic town.

And what does it cost??
One day for one person: $250. Two days for one person $450
Two days for two people $650.  Bring a friend, or two!

And where to stay?
The Castaneda Hotel, www.castanedahotel.org, 
The Plaza Hotel www.plazahotellvnm.com  (our favorite)
Super eight or many other motels Super8 does include breakfasts!

AND more from the studios and workshops of the past:

The story of color

-

“It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony”.           “When I put a green, it it not grass. When I put a blue, it is not the sky.”                                                                                      Henri Matisse                      Koment, from the cover of EncausticWorks12 At the heart of working with encaustic wax, for me, is COLOR, the wonderful range of glazing possibilities. Using transparent layers of various colors to create new colors, understanding how to achieve beautiful affects with a full palette of color, whether it is soft or vibrant. Color is our most magic tool for conveying an emotional state. For me, it is at the essence of what I do as an artist. I think in color first. Whether you do or not, it is an important part of your process to learn and understand.   Color Layers on 24" panels.. We will talk about mixing our colors ,

The Fun of The Pour: paper and panels!

-

It's about paper, but also about panels!   Think about transparency, think about layers, think mostly about color and how color will change with another transparent layer on top of it.. See what color does to color, and use it to express yourself. In the end, I think it will take more than one day to learn these techniques, so I've extended it to two.  You need to learn to pur on both paper and panels, and then learn how to incorporate that into what it is that you do. How do you use it to create the story that you want to tell. It's about paper, and also about panels: From the ArtsThrive show at the Albuquerque Museum "Intricacies of Light", encaustic on panel, 24"x24"                                             "Intricacies of Light" encaustic on panel 24"x24"
