Encaustic Workshop w/ the Missus

[Masato]

Hey all

So as some of you know my wife runs an arts/pottery school, and got excited about this cool new teacher they found who does ENCAUSTIC painting. (I know, sounds like a disease, no?)

So she asked if I would take this 1-day workshop with her (she thinks doing things together is romantic, etc)... and so I agreed because:

a) I like art
b) it allowed me to say no to dance classes



ANYWAYS... was pretty fun/interesting! This encaustic stuff is all about using layers of MELTED WAX. You mix pigments of colors into the hot wax and brush it on, then you fuse it with a heat-gun, which can make the wax run or texture to your liking.

You can also put different images and materials INTO the wax to create collages etc./ transfer images printed off the net by laser-printing stuff on carbon paper

Lots of freedom, you can create many layers as you want.

Had a good time.

Here are the ones I made:

"The new you" gave me a flashback to something I had completely forgotten about. Remember that creepy commercial with the woman slowly talking in a weird voice saying "whhyyyyy beeee youuuu whenn you cannn bbeee the newwww youuuu" or something along those lines. They played it all the time in the 90s.
