A 1-day workshop introducing encaustic materials, tools, safety,
and techniques for developing encaustic monotypes
The workshop “Encaustic Monotype Weekend Workshop” will cover:
-safety
-basics and not-so-basics of creating encaustic monotypes
-discussion of how monotypes can be used as starting points
for encaustic paintings, mixed media works or collages.
-Ways to use the hotbox effectively
-tools, techniques and approaches
-additive and subtractive ways of working
-experimentation with different types of paper to see the
different results that can be achieved
-exploration of translucency & layers of color
-results achieved with variation of temperature, wax, paper,
pigment load
-composition
Encaustic monotypes combine the directness and immediacy of
the monotype with the richness and luminosity of encaustic
painting. Manipulating pigmented wax on a heated surface,
students will create one-of-a-kind prints by ‘pulling’ their created
image directly from the heated plate. Monotypes lend themselves
to spontaneous mark making.
