Encaustic Monotypes are created on a heated aluminum palette with encaustic color sticks. Once applied to the hot plate, the encaustic melts instantly, and the image is manipulated and transferred to paper using hand-pressure. The image can be framed and displayed as a photo or glued to a wood panel.

WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS:

All In-person workshops will be taught maintaining 6’ social distancing. Class size maximum of six (6) people and three (3) minimum. Please note all participants must be vaccinated.

Transcendental Abstraction is concerned with the development and presentation of various types of non-representational painting, that finds its source in the creative imagination and does not depend upon the objective approach. 

Methods may vary. Some artists approach their paintings by  balancing the elements involved; other rely upon the initial emotion produced by the creative urge itself; still others are impel by a metaphysical motivation. 

Description: This two-day workshop centers its attention on non-objective painting, or Transcending Abstraction, which is to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual.

This class is for artists who are looking to broaden or reinforce their creative skills through lectures, demos, hands-on and critique. If you have no cold wax medium experience a one-day class is offered the day before at a discounted price.

Negative space in art is related to minimalist paintings. It emphasizes not just the subject, but the empty space around the subject. The viewer's eyes may be drawn to a focal point, but they can't help noticing the large section of emptiness that surrounds and defines the composition.

Description:

This encaustic monotype workshop is about simplicity and negative space. It’s how forms, lines and color can convey a narrative. It centers on the use of negative space, also referred to as "air space”. 

If you have no encaustic monotype experience a one-day class is offered the day before at a discounted price. As visual artists, we cover the painting surface with a variety of shapes, whether positive shapes or negative space, that come together to create a visual representation that speaks of your artistic intention. We will discuss and demonstrate the uses of negative space, the weight of color as an important part of your painting process and the painting itself. There will be ample opportunities to ask Jorge questions regarding your artwork, plus lots of painting time.

Sublime emotion toward nature is a composite of feelings of awe and inspiring energy which describes different affective experiences. Awe is defined as a mix of fear and respect toward nature, which is experienced as so much larger than oneself

Description:

This 2-Day workshop is designed for artists with prior cold wax knowledge and painting skills who want to take their work to a new level. To help artists think more deeply about their work, Jorge will offer special presentations to the class and do one-on-one consultations to challenge and guide participants to push deeper into their work, both technically and conceptually. The goal is to focus on the sublime of nature in both its abstraction and representational forms and work with each participant’s ideas and concepts as they develop their individual painting narratives.

If you have no cold wax medium experience a one-day class is offered the day before at a discounted price.

GlobalGather where we expand and grow in ways we are not yet aware exist.

Meaning making is the heart of humanity. 

Dr William Breitbart

Growth and awareness as to the ‘why’ of why we create begins with each next step. We get together to find our unique why and go on to deeper the creative practice.

Come along and explore your why, and some what and how!

• What do you want to know about a technique, product, process, or procedure?
• What have you been struggling with that I and the gathered community can help work you through?
• How can you bring what you are exploring to the group to enrich the experience you are going through?

The artist, like the monk, has an interior wilderness to discover.

Rowan Williams

Gatherings happen via Zoom, third Thursday each month, 4pm eastern. We ask questions, get answers, work through technical trouble, sort out soul-searching revelations, and work to unearth a deeper capacity of personal expression.

And create! <3

Come along each month* to weave a more meaningful thread of creative expression into the tapestry of the world,

I look forward to you~

in love.
