Friday, July 15 - Sunday, July 17, 2011
at the Encaustic Art Institute
Cost: $525

The theory and practice of the fusion of photographic processes with the encaustic medium is the focus of this workshop. Participants will learn how to integrate photographic images with encaustic through techniques such as layering, pouring, painting, and by making original imagery translucent. Students will experiment with various methods of manipulating the original photograph, including toning, distressing, and transfer techniques. Also covered are archival techniques, presentation methods, and basic safety.

Michael David's paintings are included in the permanent public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Jewish Museum in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Edward Albee Foundation, and The American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is a founding director of the Fine Arts Workshop. www.michaeldavidartist.com
