HEARTS Obispo 3 around the corner!

HEARTS OBISPO 3 – Submission Deadline 1/9

Artists take note! This is a great event in which to participate. More than 200 items were sold last year, and the 50/50 split benefits us all. No entry fee makes it easy to submit your art. Small works seem to sell especially well. How small is small? Artists don’t like to be constrained by numbers — let’s just say “smaller than a bread box”, or no bigger than 2' on any side. Please submit no more than 3 works of art. Artwork for HO3 must be delivered to ARTS Obispo’s office from January 5^th-9^th between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Exhibiting artists must be members of ARTS Obispo.

2 Day Encaustic Workshop with Heidi Franscioni

When: Feb 21st & 22nd 9AM to 4PM at Heidi's studio in Paso Robles
Cost: $350 Includes ALL Materials & post workshop support.

Morning Bagels, Coffee, Tea, & scrumptious lunch provided too!

Join Heidi Franscioni In a fun, inspiring, and supportive environment, for a 2 day Encaustic Painting Workshop! Once the ancient medium of the Greeks 2500 years ago, Encaustic Painting has experienced a resurgence in the contemporary art community. Hot molten beeswax, pigments, and tree resin make up your pallet as you create luminous texture with an infinite number of techniques! Whether you are a painter or work in photography, college, or sculpture, you will love to add the unique Encaustic magic to your work!

Heidi will focus on imparting lots and lots of encaustic technique as well as sharing her approach to the art of encaustic painting. This workshop is limited to 4 students for plenty of individualized attention & work space. All students will work with a personal hot plate so they don't have to share pigment pallets. Heidi will encourage students to learn & experiment with a vast variety of encaustic techniques, creating sample boards which they will take home for future reference.

Students will walk away with all the knowledge needed to embark on their encaustic journey! This workshop also includes 1 hour of post workshop phone support as students begin working independently in their own studios at home.

Students may bring optional materials such as carving implements, wooden supports, photography, paintings and college materials. These materials however will only supplement supplies that will already be provided. No experience needed! You only need to bring your own creative self! For more information, call Heidi Franscioni at 805-712-0612. Gift Certificates provided to your Santa upon request!

Payment in full reserves your space.
