This exhibit of experimental water colors and encaustics will occupy both the upstairs and main gallery space and is the collaborative effort of 21 artists, Marilyn Derwenskus and the Artist Within. The show runs April 1 through April 30 with an opening reception Thursday, April 3 from 5-8pm.
Traditional water color techniques may be seen in the work of these advanced students, but it is the way that they push the boundaries that stands out and makes this such an exciting collection of work.
The ages old medium of encaustic can trace its roots back to ancient Greece where it was used in decorative painting on mummy cases. Old techniques are approached in creative and innovative ways as these artists explore painting with wax. A demonstration of the process is planned for the opening night of the exhibit.
