Encaustic Workshop, Edmonton with Elaine Berglund

 Encaustic Workshop, Edmonton June 16th, 17th Instructor: Elaine Berglund Beginner – Intermediate Cost: $130 In this workshop we will be exploring and experimenting with a few methods of encaustic painting techniques: Painting on the waxed board, texturizing and using color in the wax and moving it with hot air or the iron. The artist discovers recurring patterns in nature, the relationships of shape and colour through a comparison of a still life and a landscape. The materials used are encaustic wax on hardboard and acrylic paints.
Elaine Berglund is an accomplished artist, who paints and enjoys transferring two dimensional images to three dimensional surfaces and combining different mediums for special effects. Her rural upbringing, heritage, interests and other influences have allowed her to create and view the world in a unique way. She is a student in the Shamanic tradition of the Inca Medicine Wheel from the Q’ero people of the Peruvian Andes. Medicine of the earth, she says, harmonizes with her interests in holistic medicine, energy healing and movement.
