Simplicity: Line, Form & Color - Encaustic Monotype Workshop - April 2 & 3, 10AM-4PM -Cost: $545.00 Tax & materials included

Simplicity, restraint and minimalism means distilling a scene to its emotional and visual essence rather than copying it literally. We will focus on simplifying complex views into a few core shapes, playing with dramatic color contrasts, and layering textures to evoke a "sense of place" rather than a photographic likeness.

This workshop is the perfect opportunity to discover the encaustic monotype process. The method is easy, fast, and highly engaging for artists of all skill levels.

Four Participants Max./class. For Info & Registration send email to jorgeluisbernal@gmail.com

Visual Weight & Balance March 5 & 6, 10AM-4PM

Cold Wax/ Oil Workshop. 

In abstract art, composition relies on arranging colors, lines, and shapes to guide the viewer’s eye and create visual weight rather than depicting recognizable objects. Mastering contrast and color abstractions is essential for balancing tension, establishing rhythm, and creating engaging focal points.

This workshop is the perfect opportunity to discover the cold wax/Oil process. The method is easy, fast, and highly engaging for artists of all skill levels.

Cost: $545.00 Tax & materials included

1-Day Cold Wax Oil Introductory Class

Sunday 9/13, 10AM to 4:00PM

Cost: $295.00 Tax & materials included - 4 Participants Max./ class

In this class, we will cover the fundamentals of working with cold wax medium and oil paint, including substrate preparation, color mixing, paint application, essential tools, and a variety of mark-making techniques that build both structure and expressive qualities.

We will also explore the principles of intuitive painting—an approach that encourages curiosity, experimentation, and responding to the painting as it evolves. Rather than working toward a predetermined outcome, you'll learn to embrace the creative process, accepting that ideas, marks, and colors are fluid and that every stage offers new possibilities.
