点评:Five friends and I booked a last-minute encaustic painting workshop with Andrew at Andara one Sunday and all agreed that it was the highlight of our weekend! None of us had tried this medium before, and a few of us were hesitant about the hot wax - as well as our artistic abilities. Andrew was warm and immediately set us at ease, inviting us to cultivate a beginner's mind ("don't think of it as painting, but as applying wax with careless abandon"). We were all immediately captivated by the colours, textures, scent of the wax and eased into a "flow" state. The three hours whizzed by and, at the end, we all had a few artworks to take home with us, in addition to tons of inspiration, relaxation and good vibes. Would recommend this course in a heartbeat! Andrew and Tara's gallery space (and art on display) is beautiful as well.
