Next Class Coming Soon!

The next class is an exciting one. I am going to be introducing two different transfer techniques in encaustic- one via laser printer transfer, and one from charcoal drawings. While the laser printer transfers are a crowd favorite, my heart tends to lean toward the charcoal transfers. I'd have to say it's because I don't see them done too often, and oh that texture of charcoal-it's wonderful. Classes will be around the same price as I continue to navigate this online teaching world.


What other classes would you be interested in?


ps. Welcome new students! Thanks so much for being here!

Hi! Omg what wouldn’t we want to learn from you?! I would love a workshop on clouds… or if that’s proprietary, how you work alcohol inks and/or oils into your encaustic. :)

Projects/Comments

I love seeing these photos of your paintings! I'm working on trying to figure out why my comments may not be replying to the correct person, but I think I've addressed all of them. It's a bit tricky on the admin end as far as filtering through the comments and replies. But I'll get there! Thanks so much for being here!

First attempt.....

I have definetly learned some lessons on this. Scraped too much in spots and need more layers of encaustic paint under the white. I have enjoyed learning this technique and am excited to adapt it to something more my own!

They look great! More successful than my sunken stones! 🤣

Hi Shannon, So I have some beautiful river stones appearing but they are very sunk into my wax because I put too much white wax on in an attempt to get a lovely smooth background! Should I leave them sunken or once exposed should I try to remove some white wax to make the Board more level? Thanks for the advice. Gill.

Hello all!

Thank you for joining these classes as I am in the throws of learning all things editing! Please let me know if I can help in any way! I'm hoping to have more classes uploaded soon. These will be the techniques I typically teach in my in-person classes, all broken into smaller chunks. Thank you again and have the best week!

Thank you Shannon. These classes have come at just the right time for me. I usually paint flowers in encaustic and although I already know some of these techniques I want to try to apply them in a more abstract way as you are teaching. Your instruction is very clear and I love that they are bite sized! 😊
