On the second day at Asilomar I taught a class in hot palette encaustic. This is where we mix the wax medium on the hot palette with the color pigment to mix our own colors and paint with brushes. In addition, we experimented with a variety of wax techniques which you will see in the following photographs.
And so in no particular order, is a sampling of the beautiful work produced in class. Collage including tissue collage and random texture pigmented wax above.

Here are the wonderful students minus a few; patient and accepting of the power problems which challenged us but did not stop us. The night after teaching this class I dreamed I was drowning and they were throwing showers of life preservers to me. It was a wonderful, wonderful day and there was an amazing amount of work produced.
Here is an overview of some of the work. As you can see, there are pieces that I didn't even get photographed; I did my best but always miss a few. The day, the people, the experience was wonderful. One more day to go.

Wow -- that's a huge amount of work! And it's fun to see the process/materials summary after every piece.
ReplyDeleteFabulous works, but I am not surprised considering the fabulous teacher :-)
ReplyDeleteJudy, thank you again for sharing this experience with those of us who are out here in Blogovia. Fantastic colours and images... that last photo heartbreaking in its beauty, the sheer volume these students poured out of themselves.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and Drowning? LOTS of creativity flowing out, lots of new things to and fro. That's My personal Greek Freak's interpretation. Your students throwing you life preservers? Lots of responsibilities, lots of new ideas for them.
All good stuff.
Take care!

Wow, I love the effects...slightly different from the Valley Ridge class. Looks really interesting and fun! Thanks for teh great pics Judy!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I love the portraits, of course. Some look like people I know! Or maybe it's wishful thinking on my part because I miss them (the real people). Lovely, wonderful work by all students! - Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I feel so inspired! Thanks for posting this, it looks like it was a wonderful class.
