Online Lessons Starting at $5

Great news! My online encaustic classes are now available by the class or by the lesson, allowing you to purchase exactly what you need.

A few lessons are as little as $5 and each class page has at least one free  video listed under "extra features." You can even view an excerpt from each online class by clicking on the 'Watch Trailer" button. This will give you an idea of the quality of the videos as well as my teaching style so you can decide if these classes are right for you. I hope you'll join the hundreds of artists learning with me right now!


If you've taken an online class with me before you'll see that I've moved everything to a new system with an beautiful new interface that serves the videos even faster. You'll need to create a free account with Vimeo to purchase a class, but it just takes a minute and it will help you track all of your classes. I've also increased the length time from 6 months to a whole year so you'll have plenty of time to try everything.

Now that I've got these on the new system, look for new classes coming soon!



SPECIAL REQUEST: To my current online students - I couldn't transfer any of my previous class comments when I moved to the new system so if you have a minute I'd appreciate a comment or a star rating on any of the online classes you've taken. You'll be helping new artists decide which lessons to take, and letting me know what you like best. Many thanks!   

   
5-Day Wax Week Session in Oregon

After the cancellation of one of the big encaustic conferences this year (Encausticon) there are some artists with time open in October. New plan, come visit me in Portland!

I'm offering my 5-day intensive WAX WEEK workshop from Oct. 6 - 10. We'll will focus on mixing different media within one painting, creating transfers with photographs, drawings and rubbings, texture and embossing, secrets of creating depth and taking your painting from start to finish.  

The timing is perfect to also attend one of our signature art events, Portland Open Studios on Oct. 11 - 12. Choose from 96 art studios to visit including some of my favorite Portland painters like Karl Kaiser and Kindra Crick who both work in encaustic. Most artists will be giving free demos throughout the day. Don't miss out!

Do you ever feel isolated while creating work in your home studio? Or maybe you have such limited space to work that sometimes it doesn't seem worth it to even set it all up? I know this feeling because my first "studio" was my dining room table. My Paint Party open studio sessions address these issues while giving you a fun community of artists to work with on a regular basis.
