From Stuck to Flow
Exploring, Reworking & Transforming Your Encaustic Paintings
Workshop with Dietlind Vander Schaaf & Bettina Egli
We all know the moment: you look at a painting and simply don’t know what to do next. Perhaps something isn’t working, but you can’t identify what it is. Maybe you’re afraid of losing the parts you love. Or you have simply worked on the piece for too long and can no longer see it with fresh eyes.
This four-day workshop is about exactly those moments.
Rather than teaching you “quick fixes” for your paintings, we will help you develop a repertoire of creative responses for those moments when you don’t know what to do next. Through playful exercises, series work, experimentation, critique and individual coaching, we will explore ways to loosen attachment, see our work differently, take creative risks and discover new directions.
You will also be invited to bring an encaustic painting from your own studio that you feel stuck with. Together, we will look at these works with fresh eyes, explore what is already working and consider different possibilities for moving your work forward or transforming it completely.
Encaustic is particularly suited to this process. Its possibilities for layering, covering, scraping back, excavating and rebuilding allow a painting to change radically while still carrying traces of what came before.
This workshop is designed for artists with previous encaustic experience who are comfortable with the basic techniques and are ready to explore new directions in their work. The workshop will be taught in English/German.
