With Anna Tomczak
Are you a creative spirit looking for a unique avenue of expression? You can choose to use Image transfers as the focal image and other times just to add some originality to an art piece.
In this workshop you will create photo transfers using photo laser copies, with wintergreen oil, lacquer thinner, Chartpak Blenders and organic solvents, and with Fuji film. You will learn basics of encaustic including an introduction to materials and techniques.
We will concentrate on the various methods of integrating photographs into the surface of various art papers, cloth, wood support, canvas, glass, Plexiglas and maybe metals.
The result can look as if it was printed or painted on, or as if it has been there forever.
Several methods of transferring text will also be demonstrated - rubbings, rubber stamp, old-fashioned typewriter as well as computer generated text.
Surface treatments will be introduced and demonstrated such as coating with wax and hand painting.
An image transfer is, to put it simply, the act of transferring an image from one source to another. Depending upon what material you are planning to transfer onto will depend on what type of transfer method you want to use.
With image transfers as opposed to just taking the image itself and gluing it down, is the transparent effects you can get from transfers-- allowing you to layer images or let the surface design show through, such as a patterned fabric or wood grain.
Some transfers create a lovely aged and distressed image due to the natural imperfection of the technique.
