BAVA learns Encaustics!

2011-08-03T21:50:00.002+10:00

Sydney Artist, Mo Godbeer flew up to Biloela on the weekend to teach 11 eager students the art of encaustic painting! The two day RADF funded workshop covered everything for a beginner to encaustic painting from preparation of the medium and paint to effects using collage, adding texture to shellac burns, image transfers and how to set up and work in an encaustic studio safely.

Students enjoyed this workshop immensely and hopefully we shall see many encaustic artworks in this region in the future.

Mo discusses different texture techniques

2010-09-14T21:33:00.001+10:00

Thank you BAVA ladies for making last Saturday, my first teaching of a workshop ... such a pleasurable experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed sharing some great texture techniques I'd learned last year from Gary Reef ... being a 'Mini' workshop with only around 5 hours it meant we had to get through the 4 techniques pretty quickly ... I'm happy to say all my 'students' (haha that gives me such a buzz) did a great job! Some WIPS were taken home to be completed at a later stage and from the positive feedback I'm receiving ... I am sure you will be able to incorporate them into your future artwork!

If you are interested in seeing more pics from this workshop please click here

As you can see we had lots of FUN ... especially with the Hippy Hat! lol

Cheers!
