SUMMARY:Darien Arts Center - Encaustic Coastal Workshop with Carolyn Childs (Adult Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Create a beautiful coastal landscape while discovering the magic of encaustic painting in this hands-on workshop led by artist and educator Carolyn Childs. \nThe class begins with a demonstration of essential encaustic techniques and tools. Carolyn will then guide participants step-by-step through the creation of a serene coastal scene\, making the process approachable and enjoyable for beginners while offering plenty of creative opportunities for experienced artists. Participants will explore color\, composition\, texture\, and personal expression as they bring their coastal painting to life. \nThroughout the workshop\, students will learn a variety of encaustic techniques using a hot iron and other heated tools. You’ll create several small practice pieces while developing your skills and complete a finished ocean beach painting to take home. One finished artwork may be displayed in a Lucite frame\, which is included in the class fee. \nThis workshop is designed for all skill levels. Step into a warm\, supportive creative space\, relax into the process\, and enjoy the calming experience of creating an ocean-inspired encaustic painting. Whether you’re looking to learn a new medium\, expand your artistic practice\, or simply spend a few hours immersed in creativity\, this workshop offers a fun and rewarding artistic escape. \nPlease feel free to bring any refreshments you would like for the evening\, including wine & snacks!
