Nest Obsessed! with Christina Lovisa

Learn her TWC (Two World’s Collide) techniques via this large-scale NEST project. Cultivate a project-driven understanding of the stable amalgamation of mixed media and encaustic art (TWC). NEST definition: a snug retreat or refuge; resting place; home. While our bodies and minds master the steps of layering mixed media and encaustic paints, our creative spirits will explore the symbolism of a nest. Christina feels a strong connection to the word “home” when building these paintings one twig/strand of grass/brushstroke at a time and it is her privilege to guide you through the journey.

In this workshop, you will create two 2 large-format (24”x 48”) mixed-media paintings using the TWC techniques involving mineral paints, collage and encaustic paints. We will all create two masterful nest projects together and then the rest of the time, you will have the option to apply the techniques in making a series of nests (there are so many styles to choose from!), or to branch off into applying the learned-techniques to create your hearts’ desires and your Spirits’ needs. Personal images may be used in this workshop.

Cost: $750 - Preregistration Required.
