I want to spark your creative imagination by introducing you to my contemporary approach to encaustic and oil & cold wax painting. My art classes are small with individual attention and personal work time. In an atmosphere of exploration and open-mindedness you will develop technical skills to take your artwork to a new level of possibilities. I will post future classes for the Fall.
I offer master classes in my studio to artists with all levels of expertise.
I have worked with many novices, professional artists seeking technical guidance for a specific project, artists who wish to refine their skills and imagery with encaustic or cold wax, and small groups of artist friends wanting to learn and explore a new medium together. Each session focuses on your needs using either encaustic or oil & cold wax.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with others and helping them develop their individual artist voices.
Each session is in my studio in Saco Maine, from 10 am – 3 pm. There is a balance of demonstration and work time, as well as an openness to your questions throughout the session. Cost is $200 a day and includes most materials. Please contact me with questions and comments about your intended focus and availability at diane.bowie.zaitlin@gmail.com
