Encaustic Workshop

*NEW! Experience the incorporation of Washi, Japanese Handmade Paper,

into my Encaustic Workshops, beginning June 5/10!



At Laluque Atelier

1362 Bathurst Street, Toronto

Saturday, June 5, 10am to 3:30pm, 2010

With Artist Victoria Wallace




Encaustic is the ancient art of painting with melted beeswax. My comprehensive Encaustic workshops give participants a thorough knowledge of the Encaustic medium and method - from the classical to the experimental. Artists with backgrounds in any medium will find these workshops are an exciting opportunity to expand their visual vocabulary with wax. However, no artistic ability is required to produce uniquely beautiful Encaustic artwork.


Over the duration of the workshop, you’ll learn about

 the history of Encaustic

 safety issues with Encaustic tools and media

 Encaustic waxes, media and materials used

 Encaustic techniques including: tools, layering, scraping/scribing, use of stencils, collage, image transfer, monotypes, carving and more.


The attendees produce as many as five or six original pieces of art in the Encaustic medium during the workshop.


You may bring a photocopied/Xerox’d image for print-transfer onto the wax, but I will provide samples for you to work with. You may also wish to bring a graphite drawing to print-transfer onto the Encaustic surface.


Please wear an old shirt or an apron to protect your clothing.


Cost of the workshop is $125 plus tax per person. This price includes all materials, paints, media and substrates; one hour lunch break. To reserve your seat, please pay in advance at Laluque Atelier (416) 833-1399, or Victory Art Supply 705.536.3051, with credit card by telephone or email.


I look forward to meeting you all!

I believe that artistic inspiration is available to us all. It is a matter of being present, and observing the world around us. However, as a life-long self-employed and freelance artist, my hands-on practical experience and commercial arts background implore me to address the reaction of the viewer. I create artworks that reflect this deeply intertwined dichotomy within my artistic psyche.

My diametrically opposed methods begin with a deliberate intent and passion towards my subject. These are often quiet images at the outset of my approach. Then my alter ego enters the process. The uncertainty of my imagined/perceived reactions of viewers unleashes a dualistic inner battle. The results cause my art to be simultaneously calming and unsettling, playful and threatening, comical and cryptic.

In the creation of more surreal and abstract artworks, I take the opportunity to minimize and even avoid specific subjects and let paint, color and form interact. As my artwork develops and my connection to it deepens, I become the simple transporter of the message that first inspired me, free to allow the random intention of each brush stroke to evoke my passion within and towards the given medium. These less realistic pieces are almost a therapeutic flip side in process to the more representational artwork in my practice.

The emotional and spiritual synergy the viewer brings to each piece of my art, drives and challenges my creative process.

Victoria Wallace is a multi-media artist working, exhibiting and conducting workshops in acrylic, encaustic, watercolour and sculptural media. She had a successful mural and specialty paint finish company in Toronto for over 25 years. Her extensive commissions include work for television, film, theatre, restaurants, businesses and private collections across Canada and internationally. Her paintings reflect the “trompe l’oeil” influence mastered through years of mural painting. Victoria infuses luminance within her subjects, which range from high realism to abstraction.
