Encaustic Workshop! What do I need to bring?

After trying to keep this as simple as possible for everyone, Heather Hennick and I have decided on a final list of necessary objects for artists to supply for the encaustic workshop. Just about every artist I know has these supplies already, which is wonderful. If you don't, there will be plenty to share (we will make sure of it!)


1. blow (hair) dryer 
2. scissors
3. a couple of cheap hog hair brushes (like what Baruj likes, from the hardware store)
4. collage material: such as decorative napkins, pretty papers, small black and white photocopy images or a colorful magazine, a little piece of silky fabric, dried leaves or petals, found objects


I also found a very cool link to check out some art made with encaustic techniques:

Please remember, we accept PayPal for the deposit & the limit is 10 students! As always, more information is available on my website, with Workshop as its very own page.

Violin Project continued

Ok, so I should not post pictures, but I can at least write about painting!

I am grateful for the following tools: newspaper, painter's tape, spray paint, acrylics, hair dryer, brushes, and water.

What I've learned in the past 24 hours:

1. Newspapers work MUCH better than paper towels, not to mention reuse/recycle! Cheaper, too.

2. Spray paint forgives mistakes made because acrylics will scrape off when dry. Spray paint also needs to be shined up with varnish when finished.

3. Hair dryers are magical (ok, this one I learned a long time ago with Baruj) because the paint dries NOW.

4. Cameras show how an artist can correct and continue, even when working on a violin.

5. Painter's tape is the awesome.

6. One can never, ever, ever have enough brushes.

7. Left handed people are not usually photographed doing stuff. Everyone seems right handed!

Enough written. Returning to having fun with the violin project.

Smiles!
