SCROLL DOWN TO REGISTER
Your Magical Lens is a fresh approach to one of my most popular subjects: Encaustic & Photography. In this adventurous online community, we’ll combine encaustic and mixed media with your personal photographs.
We’ll sidestep common technical challenges and concentrate on the techniques I find most useful: several methods of hand-coloring before and after waxing, and reworking parts of your photographs as collage elements and image transfers with additions of texture and translucency.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each of the 6 weekly sessions includes a new encaustic technique and demonstration, and sometimes a photography challenge. The weekly sessions are 60-minute live demonstration and Q&A, starting with an overview of the course and a live painting demo on week 1.
Photo challenges that encourage bold experimentation
Encaustic and mixed media techniques that will make your images pop
Exciting ways loosen up and create art anywhere
Insights into how I work in my own studio
Experience with basic encaustic painting is necessary to get the most out of Your Magical Lens, but you don't need to be an expert. If you are confident painting with encaustic on your own then you'll be at the right level for this class. The lessons offer rich, personalized instruction that also challenges painters with more encaustic experience to consider advanced ideas and techniques.
MEET NEW ARTISTS AND STAY CONNECTED
We all have knowledge to share! Just like in my studio classes, we brainstorm together so you are a part of the conversation instead of just watching a video on how someone else does it.
Working within a supportive community makes a huge difference in how quickly you progress. A private Facebook group is our playhouse, so you can post your work if you want to, and be able to discuss it with artists from anywhere in the world.
