During this three-day workshop, students will be introduced to the encaustic medium—colored beeswax that must be warmed into a lush and workable liquid—as well as related materials and suppliers. Some class time will be devoted to demonstrations, the study of a variety of artists' encaustic techniques, and group discussions of students' works. Students will have the opportunity to explore collage, texturing, and incising and are encouraged to take what they learn and experiment; this medium allows for numerous artistic styles and creative approaches, including sculpture.
Trained as an oil painter at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Carol Odell has worked in commercial design, textiles and photography. Her improvisational, non-objective, color-expressive works are created in oil, encaustic (beeswax medium) or monotype. Beginning with a non-representational structure, her paintings are built with an eye to creating an imagined space with non-specific references to the natural world.
