Not all tearing is the same ... • Arranging elements: How to compose your picture, and what helps you with it. • Gluing papers: What are the best ways and materials to glue papers? Bye, bye wrinkles or air bubbles! • Extra tip: Incorporate another type of paper. More knowledge - for more creativity. • Primer: Pay attention to the colour of your painting body. Why? You'll find out in the course. • Emphasise or reduce elements, create visual connections, set accents: Working with colour, brush and spray. And why direction is important when spraying. • Dealing with the tearing edges of the paper: a lot depends on it. • Painting edges: Why colouring can be a good idea. • Preparing the painting body for resin: Everything you need to know for this step. • Working with resin: You will learn everything about laminating your papers. And designing with clear and coloured resin. You will also be given a formula for calculating the amount you need for your artwork. • Precision work: Eliminate possible bubbles. Keep an eye on your picture as it hardens and remove any foreign objects. We won't give away the small, valuable intermediate steps with tips and tricks in here. You'll discover them in the video of this online course.

Then book here – for all our benefits Class Details - Between Matte and Gloss: Urban Stillness Contrasts or interplay? Both! Working with contrasting materials opens up extraordinary possibilities: you create a new form of depth, light, and visual tension on the surface of the artwork. The main materials responsible in this dynamic? Matte textures through wax and high-gloss surfaces through resin. So a dialogue between encaustic and resin art. Are you ready for LightDark, SmoothTextured, and MatteGlossy? Then you are ready for „The Essence of Contrasts“!   From Dialogue to Polylogue: with Pigment Layers, Pours, Stencils The image base for the creative synthesis is built step by step – using spray, shellac ink, pigments, and collage elements. The focus here is on pigments. It’s also about the effects you can create with the same pigments in different materials – for example in wax, resin, or liquid paints. Additionally, you will mix your own colors using pigment drops. Wax plays a key role in the base: clear, tinted, applied in flat layers, and through stencils. The stencil continues this leading role. You use it both for working with wax and for creating with spray. This produces optical and tactile overlays, resulting in fascinating graphic structures and visual rhythms. Resin also acts as an enhancer for this character. With layers of matte encaustic wax and high-gloss resin, you create a vibrant surface – and a special spatial depth. As a deliberate break from the typical use, I will also show you how to matte resin: adding yet another exciting contrast to the surface of your Urban Stillness.
