An Online Half-Day Workshop with artist Isabelle Gaborit

Passionate, delightful, and generous with her knowledge: this is Isabelle!

I had been longing to get to Ireland, to study with Isabelle in person, but knew that was going to be impossible.   Instead, I took her  zoom class 2/11/21, and came away incredibly charged, excited  and motivated.   As a teacher, Isabelle is brimming with enthusiasm that is both relaxed yet vibrant.  Her class was chock full of information, techniques and tips; the visual presentation was superb, and she answers questions thoroughly, even following up in emails.
Couldn’t have asked for a more fulfilling learning experience.

Encaustic is an ancient medium used in Ancient Egypt to create paintings, involving pure natural beeswax melted with Damar resin, to which natural pigments may be added. This process will harden and add transparency, vibrancy, and lustre to the artwork.

 

You will get the same in-depth information shared during my workshops but in the comfort of your own home.

This online course uses Zoom video-conferencing platform for 2 hours, 7-9 pm (GMT), supplemented with  study notes and lessons.

 

You will also have access to one-to-one student support and feedback from me via a private Facebook Group created especially for you if you wish to connect and share your work with a community of fellow encaustic artists.

The class will include demonstrations, guiding you in detail through the encaustic process, interaction and discussion about the methods and techniques shown , and practical  exercises which can be submitted via the FB group after the workshop  for individual appraisal or group support.

This is an intermediate class and this course is suitable for people with a basic knowledge of encaustic painting.

I will not be going over encaustic basics.

If you would like to take this workshop and do not have experience with encaustic I recommend you taking my Introduction to Encaustic workshop or scheduling a private workshop with me before this one.
