We will explore the steam method for printing, as well as modifiers to change the colors of our final prints. You will come away from the workshop with a treasure trove of papers that can be used in collage, book making, or even stand on their own as a beautiful finished botanical print.

This workshop is designed for both painters and photographers interested in gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their studio practice through the combination of encaustic, collage, and photography. Demonstrations introduce you to the basics of encaustic painting and digital printing, while we will explore ways to further alter our photographic images through a series of markings and underpainting combined with monochromatic imagery that borrowers from the look and feel of traditional cyanotypes. We will focus on incorporating embedded photo prints on thin papers such as tissue and Japanese papers, creating ethereal and richly detailed works. We will start off with Sarah’s steps for creating and isolating images in Photoshop to get the look and feel of cyanotypes.
