Virtual Demo: Encaustic Monotypes with Caryl St. Ama
On August 4th from 1:30 -2:30pm CDT (Central Daylight Time) we will host the 5th of our Summer Virtual Demo series. Join R&F Core Instructor Caryl St. Ama for Encaustic Monotypes: Printmaking Without A Press. Caryl will demonstrate a variety of ways to create monotypes using R&F encaustic paint and the 16” x 16” R&F heated palette. The process involves painting directly onto the palette and “pulling” prints with a variety of papers. Silicone shapers, natural hair brushes, and stencils can be used to add line and texture to the prints. Learn how Caryl overprints and layers monotypes with gelatin plates, as well as embeds prints into encaustic paintings. All levels welcome. There will be time for a Q&A.
Please note: If you are not in the Central Daylight Time zone (CDT), you will need to convert your time zone in order to figure out what time the demo is taking place. You can use thetimezoneconverter.com to do so.
