| This workshop is for artists wishing to learn the process of encaustic or wax medium painting, or for artists wishing to expand their experience with the medium. No experience is required, but some painting experience will be helpful. The small number of participants will allow for individual assistance with a variety of technical or design issues. The instructor will demonstrate many techniques of the encaustic medium and participants are encouraged to explore and find ways appropriate to their individual styles. Students will be shown how to mix encaustic medium, make colors, and “burn-in” in a safe manner. Classroom time will include a discussion of materials, supplies and suppliers. The materials fee will include encaustic medium and painting surfaces. Other materials will be available for sale. Studio supplies include hotplates, heat guns, torches, mixing tins and small tools. A complete list of suggested materials will be provided upon registration. Directions to the artist’s studio will be supplied upon registration. |

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. Recently she has given workshops at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, The Cape Cod Art Association, Kutztown University, as well as in her Chatham studio. She has mentored to local high school art students in the Schools to Careers program. She is a member and participates in group exhibitions with the Printmakers of Cape Cod, the Monotype Guild of New England, 21 in Truro and New England Wax. Her works are represented by the Left Bank Gallery of Wellfleet and Orleans. She and her husband, artist Tom Odell, have owned and operated Odell Studios Gallery in Chatham for 35 years. Her works are in private, corporate and museum collections. www.odellarts.com. |
