Virtual Demo: Encaustic & Photo Collage with Jodi Reeb
We are gearing up to offer another in our series of free virtual demos.
Join R&F Core Instructor Jodi Reeb on Wednesday, May 19 from 1:30 to 2:30pm CT for a virtual demo using encaustic with photo collage. This process involves printing photographs on lightweight tissue paper and embedding the image with encaustic medium and paint. Image transfers will also be explored. Beautiful, translucent layers are created by adding R&F Pigment Sticks® under or above your image for color and depth. Editing your photographs to print large with software and apps will also be covered. All levels welcome. There will be time for a Q&A.
Pre-registration required. To sign up, go to our Virtual Demos page and fill out the form.
