EXPLORE NM and ENCAUSTIC PAINTING, JUNE 23-25



EXPLORE NEW MEXICO and ENCAUSTIC PAINTING June 23, 24, 25

Since so many of my students come from afar, I thought it would be a wonderful experience for you to have the opportunity to see some of our deep and amazing heritage while you are here..both Native American as well as Hispanic. To that end, I am teaming up with Robbie O'Neill of Cultural Treasures to provide you with a day of exceptional experiences. 

We will meet at the studio for the first day, introducing you to Encaustic if you are new to it, refreshing and enhancing your skills if you have been doing it for awhile. As always, we will discuss, safety, materials, techniques, and your approach to painting. We will make some paintings, spend the next day exploring, and then the third day incorporate our experiences into our art. How has what you've seen moved you, what does it mean to you, and how can you use it in your expression?

Special tour offering for Wednesday, June 24, 2015 will be:  – Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Feast Day and Dance. This is the Pueblo’s annual Geronimo Dance which is magical, colorful and enchanting.  A wonderful cultural experience and one not to be missed.  The tour includes visiting the Pueblo, lunch at El Rancho de Chimayo, an iconic restaurant loved by locals and tourists alike, a visit to El Santuario de Chimayo and a hammered tin demonstration by 6th generation Chimayo artist, Sharon Candelario.

An optional fourth day will explore the galleries in Santa Fe. 


The workshop will be suitable for those new to Encaustic, as well as those with more Encaustic Painting experience. We will cover all the basics, as well some new techniques..with an emphasis on what is involved in translating your ideas and impressions into your paintings.

THE MAGIC OF THE MARK: Line and More

Image
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!

Color is always a great topic!

“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. And here are a few of my paintings that were in my show "The Mystery of Color&q
