17th International Encaustic Conference

This demo will address combining encaustic with various mediums. Incorporating acrylic paint, water color, India ink, powdered charcoal, stain block (house paint) are a few of the methods that will be demonstrated. 
Processes will include working with digitally printed imagery, monotype, and silkscreen prints, as well as other suitable collage materials. In addition to working on panels, alternative substrates (FoamCoat on foam panels, as well as encaustic and shellac on glass) will also be shown. The demo will address ways to manipulate images and to push the digital print into something unique. Mark making, re-assembling, distorting, and adding hand drawn elements will also be a focus of the presentation. Combining controlled “accidental” marks using India ink and alcohol on Japanese paper will be shown as an option for layering on top of, and underneath an image.
