A fabulous encaustic workshop with Paco Benitez
 |
| Internationally known encaustic artist Francisco "Paco" Benitez from New Mexico began the workshop by sharing about the tradition of the encaustic medium and the Fayun Portraits of ancient times. |
 |
| Using a limited color range vary similar to the Zorn palette, he began developing this portrait painting with wax and using heat tools to manipulate the application of wax onto the board. |
 |
| Students worked from a live model as they applied the encaustic approach to working from life. It was a great workshop with a fantastic group of people determined to learn this approach. Everyone worked so hard and expended so much energy that a well deserved break after the workshop should be mandatory! Thank you Paco for coming to California and we look forward to having you come back again. Thanks everyone who participated in this amazing 3-day workshop. Make Art!!!!! |

Go Big or Go Home
This class is designed for students who have a strong grasp of painting basics and want to start or keep developing their own style and series of work. Each student will bring a 24x30 sized canvas or larger to work on throughout the 3 weeks. Each student also needs to bring a good photo reference of
what they would like to paint.
You can set up a still life in class, but remember we will be working on the same painting for 3 weeks. This photo can be anything your wanting to create into a large painting - Figurative, still life, landscape etc. This process will help students problem solve in large format, focus on finishing stages, and develop their own voice. I will be able to spend individual time with each student - helping with the process.
Feel free to email me a photo ahead of time if you'd like any suggestions for color palette and or format of canvas.
Two Weeks - Jan. 30 and Feb 6
Back to the Basics
Students will be working on a still life painting alla prima style, working to finish it in one class period. (8x10-11x14 size) This class is geared to help students with their technique, brush handling, observatio
n skills, and color usage. Its great for beginners or intermediate students who want to keep up their skills.
(I will have beginner still life and intermediate still life set up)
I will be painting along side you for those who like demos and walking around to help each of you on an individual basis.
If your a beginner who wants to take this class, please email me and I will let you know what supplies you need to bring.
