Encaustic painting dates to the 5th century B.C. and involves fusing together numerous layers of molten beeswax, tree resin and pigments. Each layer of encaustic medium is applied and then fused to the previous layer using a blowtorch. The surface is then scraped or scratched or rubbed with oil paints to create various effects. Unlike other paint mediums, encaustic has this sculptural, corporeal component to it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.35pt;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Statement:</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Long before I considered myself and artist, I made marks on a surface I could find, used creek-mud to draw lines, textures, patterns and an occasional structure with this abundant ‘medium’.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I collected odd pieces of metal, rocks, insects, and just about anything that was in my environment. The sounds of peepers and the songs of birds captured my attention for hours. <b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">‘A Sense Of Place’, was inspired by</span><span style="color: #575757;"> my sustained intrigue of this natural world, these images come as often from within informed significantly by an emotional response to a place, a narrative of a place, or a biologic remembrance, etc. I am entranced in moments of elemental experiences that feel significant to remember, like a dream or recollection of place. Sometimes the forces of our world seem to align, and the rising mist of transcendent, the <i>Humanistic Geometry: A Sense of Place</i>, the slow-fading, graded values of the astonishing nocturnal blues lend a feeling of otherworldliness, yet something previously familiar and restful. Moments such as these are often unnoticed magic moving along the surface of an ordinary day. These are the moments constructing my work. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #151515;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Most of us probably don’t realize just how much a place can influence your sense of who you are, or how essential it is for your inner well-being.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Bio:</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Gina Louthian-Stanley is a Roanoke, Virginia native. Louthian-Stanley has been creating for as long as she remembers, having the good fortune to have been mentored and taught by some of the finest artists. While she has working with encaustic and cold wax artist since 2006, her most recent works are explorations in combining various mediums and techniques to create the 'atmospheric and textural' qualities, which are symbolic to her works. She has been able to assemble bits and pieces of her lifelong learning and intimate experiences to create her own artistic style. Louthian-Stanley's works represent the physical and emotional sensations, which carry the viewer into an intimate visual narrative.</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcZV-BBjdSW1yJfxXPdugYccC4LsmHGfwRyzE1DfBvXGMbdXOU6WkqfSiRztm0ExstjLoRMnaf8NkiBGpJBz8P1gh81ghqQrwiR_iUBQ3vdzuuyIdlnJbYsQqi45Yz8SYeCPYbHrMkQibdi2K-OcOWGjXo_Zvtm7oCt6pRkBi81AlERqOXTok9GIypLA/s2048/IMG_0018.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em;

Take an intuitive approach into the many uses of luminous cold wax with oil paint, pastel, mark-making tools, brushes, scrapers and more. Composition, color and contrast will be addressed, along with an exploration of visual elements such as line, shape, pattern, texture, form and depth. We will create orginal pieces and explore effects possible with the oil and cold wax medium by using it as a surface treatment to create completed paintings, collages (including copied photos), and incorporate mixed media by adding oil and cold wax with various ‘found’ tools. All skill levels would benefit from this class, especially beginners. For previous cold wax participants, Gina will offer critiques, and be there to assist in developing your visual journey. *Bring your oil paints, Multimedia board, or recommended 8” x 8” birch boards, gessoed boards, or clayboard panels, palette paper, wax paper, paper towels, Wet Ones, and a 12” palette knife or icing spreader. Gina will bring a plethora tools to share and furnish one 4 oz.jar of cold wax and Arches oil paper and blue painter's tape. There is a materials list with other items that will enhance your experience. Lunch breaks included. (Needs 4 to make) All levels welcome!

Beginners welcome. And if you have prior experience with Encaustic you can enhance your skills and go to a new level with your work!. Gina will cover safety and basics of Encaustics as needed. for all participants.A totem is considered something (such as an animal or plant) that is the symbol for a family, tribe, etc., especially among Native Americans or a carved or painted form, or a person or thing that represents an idea.In this workshop we will dive right in exploring the sculptural possibilities of plaster cloth, wax and encaustic making a totem and shield which best represents your personal idea or creative desire. Rigid and absorbent when dry, plaster cloth makes a wonderful support for dimensional encaustic work. Once the form is created, we will apply Encaustic medium and fuse it to the sculptural composition using a variety of techniques. In the class, we will have a 12” disc and 12” rectangular shape to use as a base for the plaster cloth. As the structures near completion, you will learn how to add found or small personal objects into the sculptures to create your ‘totem’ and discuss ways to finish and display your totem. As we create, we will contemplate our forms and their meanings to us personally - you can even to go abstract.

There were experiments with different papers and viscosities of the mediums as I poured, scraped, and brushed over areas. Most of the works were very intuitive only considering line and contrast, and trying to create depth. Overall, I am pleased. <p></p><p>Hope to try larger papers when I return from teaching. </p>Gina Louthian-Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12214000167687630950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160525273329315276.post-43262761617462566062022-06-18T17:39:00.002-04:002022-06-18T17:40:26.801-04:00It's Been Awhile. Gina Louthian-Stanley, back to teaching Encaustic, Wabi-Sabi and more!<p>We have all been through the last two years....what more can one say? I didn't blog much because it may have not even made sense. Nothing made sense. </p><p>I am an introvert and I did discover that I had been doing way too much running, doing, and ignoring....with the down time and isolation I was able to sit with self. Discovering I was typically never home; being home physically and mentally 24/7 was wonderful. There were so many things to do at home, some neglected organization, letter writing, cleaning, gardening, and some time to take some online classes. </p><p>I was thankful that many of the artists I had wanted to see in person for workshops began offering online classes, reasonably priced at that. I was overjoyed to take several courses and learn so many new techniques and wonderful fellow artists. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went back into the classroom and have been working full time with a few accommodations which kept so many of us healthy. I am fortunate to be in a school setting that values its teachers. For that I am blessed. I didn't say it hasn't been a struggle, because it has. I do feel for the students and empathize with how there world has changed. It is truly different and much patience and empathy is needed to guide them in a positive direction. We are on break now and I know they are glad. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have begun going back out onto the world to teach again as well! My latest venture was in Asheville at 310 Art where I taught a Wabi-Sabi Bookmaking workshop. It was a wonderful class and it was great to actually meet new artists and to create in-person! That said, I wanted to list my upcoming classes and workshops here in case you are up for creating in person too!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhck8rLOkugeWY1wEXQO6EbGx1mx6IuhXL4vg76YwEQqWiuppVLaOyDX3V6GIJYhQLI_1n1Sg-AU6kPzeRHiwgICjbw44Xj67kagJ2iGqOUp79qJvbJiteg3-57Fgkt7gadRbdJ4XgXPlytaUMK8PFTf18AYjyR13tg6rsERs0QKkJZX8bGYKKHAver/s640/IMG_4556.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Embrace the flow of something beautiful during the class and learn a new way to approach surface design. We will also do a few image transfers. Excellent class for beginners or learn a new way to break that creative funk! Collage papers, permanent pens, various inks and will be available as well as six 5” x 5” sheets of watercolor paper. You’ll need to bring a few sheets of 140lb watercolor paper (if you want to create more pieces), scissors, and one small-medium sized bottle of Liquatex or Golden, gel medium matt and four to six 1/2 inch foam brushes. (It’s suggested that you also bring acrylics, natural fiber decorative papers, vintage papers, ephemera, patterned paper, handwritten paper, laser copies of a few small images... your choice! You can never have enough paper!) A lunch break will be included. *Email Gina with questions and to confirm registration. <a data-auto-recognition="true" href="mailto:Lougael@cox.net" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lougael@cox.net</a> </p></li></ul><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 16px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; color: darkred; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></span></p><ul class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: darkred; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font: var(--font_8); line-height: normal; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.3em; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font: var(--font_8); letter-spacing: 0em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Teen Classes:</span></span></span></span></p></li></ul><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="wixGuard" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Basic Drawing for Teens-</span>Gina Louthian-Stanley</p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"> 4 Mondays, November 14th, 21st, December 5th, 12th, 2022 5:30-7PM</p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"> (Teens 13 and up)</p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"> In this 4-week class, we will explore exercises and very basic fundamentals and techniques of drawing, encouraging us how to ‘see’.

Take an intuitive approach into the many uses of luminous cold wax with oil paint, pastel, mark-making tools, brushes, scrapers and more. Composition, color and contrast will be addressed, along with an exploration of visual elements such as line, shape, pattern, texture, form and depth. We will create original pieces and explore effects possible with the oil and cold wax medium by using it as a surface treatment to create completed paintings, collages (including copied photos), and incorporate mixed media by adding oil and cold wax with various ‘found’ tools. All skill levels would benefit from this class, especially beginners.

Beginners welcome. And if you have prior experience with Encaustic you can enhance your skills and go to a new level with your work!. Gina will cover safety and basics of Encaustics as needed. for all participants.A totem is considered something (such as an animal or plant) that is the symbol for a family, tribe, etc., especially among Native Americans or a carved or painted form, or a person or thing that represents an idea.In this workshop we will dive right in exploring the sculptural possibilities of plaster cloth, wax and encaustic making a totem and shield which best represents your personal idea or creative desire. Rigid and absorbent when dry, plaster cloth makes a wonderful support for dimensional encaustic work. Once the form is created, we will apply Encaustic medium and fuse it to the sculptural composition using a variety of techniques. In the class, we will have a 12” disc and 12” rectangular shape to use as a base for the plaster cloth. As the structures near completion, you will learn how to add found or small personal objects into the sculptures to create your ‘totem’ and discuss ways to finish and display your totem. As we create, we will contemplate our forms and their meanings to us personally - you can even to go abstract. Gina will bring the two forms, plaster cloth, decorative papers, Encaustic Medium and pigments, oil sticks, oil pastels, and tools.</span></h1></li><li style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); letter-spacing: 0em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Optional - Bring your own decorative papers, ephemera, small nails, thin fabrics, found objects, dried organic matter such as seed pods small twigs and leaves, buttons, etc. Bring paper towels, Wet Ones, and Scissors.</span></p></li></ul><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><ul class="font_8 color_33" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_33)); font-size: 14px; font: var(--font_8); line-height: normal; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.3em; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font: var(--font_8); letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Wabi-Sabi Mixed Media and Collage Books</span></span></span></p></li></ul><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">Wabi-Sabi Mixed Media Accordion and Bound Books with Gina Louthian-Stanley 2023<br />10-4 pm March 28 and March 29, 2023 (tentative)<br /> <br />This is a great way to create enchanting, mystical mixed media works and fold and bind them into small books or journals! </p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. </span></p><p class="font_8" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_20)); font-size: 13px; font: var(--font_8); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Learn a new way to approach mixed media collage!

<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>Ideas to Fuel Creativity For Everyone (C) by gls </b></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>1. Definition Of Creativity</b><br />
What is creativity, exactly? The use of imagination or original ideas to create something.<br />
AND<br />
The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.<br />
So at its most basic, creativity is simply the act of creating something that didn't exist before.<br />
Where and how and with what materials you apply creativity is up to you.<br />
It could be anything. There are no limits to the areas where creativity can be used.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>2. Follow Your Natural Talents</b><br />
You can obviously apply your creativity in whatever area or areas you choose, but you'll get the biggest joy if you follow your naturalfnstincts and talents. Having talent in a particular area simply means that it's easier for you to learn the necessary skills than it is for someone whose talents lie in a different area. Start where you feel comfortable!</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>3. Go With the Grit!</b><br />
Natural talent will give you a boost, but talent alone won't cut it. Creative endeavors often come with challenges.<br />
You might be intimidated by needing to learn new skills. You might struggle with perfectionism and fear of failure. You might be battling the real-world demands of work and family when trying to find time to pursue your craft. You might get frustrated when your painting doesn't materialize exactly the way you imagined. You might be terrified of releasing your creation out into the world and making yourself vulnerable to rejection.<br />
To overcome these kinds of challenges, you need grit. Grit is a combination of passion and perseverance that enables you to persist in the face of obstacles.<br />
Simply put, you need to love what you do and be too stubborn to quit. This is a big part of being successful. Never give up!<br />
For more on this topic, check out Angela Duckworth's wonderful book<br />
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance .<br />
(This also is reflected in # 5 )</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>4. Try, Try, Try, and Try Again</b><br />
One way in which grit will help you is by pushing you to enhance your skills in your area of interest. Regardless of how much innate talent you may or may not have, getting over the beginner anxiety and acquiring new skills and techniques is key. The more skilled you are, the more freedom you have to explore.<br />
Think about someone who has writing talent but never learned the basics of spelling and grammar. Or someone who has artistic talent but never learned how to mix colors.<br />
Everyone has to start somewhere.<br />
Let yourself be a beginner.<br />
Learn from others who went before you. And never let the learning stop.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>5. Carry On Through Fear and Failure</b><br />
Grit will also push you to overcome fear of failure. Fear of failure is a giant obstacle to creativity. It can completely paralyze you and prevent you from creating altogether.<br />
Fear of failure is perpetuated by the fact that we usually only see other people's successes.<br />
We usually only see their final product. We don't see all the years they spent honing their skills. We don't see all the rough sketches and first tries and abandoned starts that happened along the way.<br />
And we usually only see the successful creations. We don?t see the failures. All the painted over canvasses or gessoed over sketch book pages. Even if it's mostly invisible, failure happens to all of us. In order to have a chance of success, you must be willing to risk failure and find ways to work through it.<br />
I always tell my students, "Artist are problem Solvers." Once you embrace failure, there are no limits to what you will dare to try. At that point, what do you really have to loose?Some of my best works have been created from failures. When a problem arises, it forces you to find a solution and ask questions. This is when artistic growth occurs.<br />
My favorite book on this subject is Art And Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. (A must read, actually.)</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>6. Begin Again, and Again, If Needed</b><br />
Sometimes you might get an inkling that you are pouring your heart and soul into a project that is headed Nowhere and Fast. But it can be really hard to admit this fact to yourself when you've put countless precious hours into your work of a lifetime.<br />
However, there are times when moving on and letting yourself start over truly is the best thing to do. The more you accept failure as an expected part of the process, the easier it becomes to admit that you have landed on a no-go and the easier it becomes to start fresh.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>7. Try Many Things</b><br />
And while we are on the topic of starting over, let me point out that creativity is not monogamy. You don't need to find the ONE. You don't need to settle on any one given idea or solution or project and stay painfully focused.<br />
As a matter of fact, one of the best ways to boost creativity is to challenge yourself to come up with MANY possible ideas and ways to fix the problems. Challenge yourself to come up with a range of new ways of working. If you typically use a lot of blue, hide it! Challenge yourself to try new color schemes. If you don't draw, do daily contour drawings in a sketchbook, etc. For instance, create the same image in watercolor, collage, and a drawing.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

Expose Yourself To New Work In Your Medium or Subject Matter, Or Not</b><br />
To keep trying out new possibilities, your brain needs stimulation. One way to incite creativity is to expose yourself to ideas and work by other artists. I often have my students choose a famous artist's painting and copy it. This doesn't mean that you'll become a copycat. Instead, you can collect ideas from multiple sources and then put them together in a way that's unique to you. Look at how they handled their subject, what mediums, and also take time to look at the Elements and Principles of Art to see how they handled them.<br />
Other artists work can serve as a spark that ignites you to think of a new way in handling your own creative vision. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>9. Expose Yourself To New Environments</b><br />
There's also something about exposing yourself to a new environment that entices your brain to make new connections.<br />
I've noticed that whenever I go on a trip (short or long), I come back with a plethora of visual images, and photographs to work from. It's pretty much a given that as I make my daily trip to work (about 45 minutes) I will leave early and go down the back roads. I often photograph the early morning landscape with my iPhone.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>10. Surround Yourself With Other Creative People (@6feet....with a mask)</b><br />
And then there are the people who inhabit your environment. You know that cliche about being the average of the five people you spend the most time with?<br />
Enough said. Embrace new discussions, meet new people, join new groups, take a class out of your comfort zone , and try new resources.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>11. Take Pause, Relax!</b><br />
So we have established that your creative brain needs stimulation. This comes from learning new skills and techniques, exposure to other people?s work, and exposure to new environments.<br />
You also need a chance to marinate these ideas. Your brain needs a chance to process and put two and two together. It does this when you are sleeping and when you are relaxing. I often have inspiration come to me when I dream, or when I am driving long distances.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>12. Keep Idea Lists</b><br />
Whenever ideas do come to you, be prepared to capture them.<br />
Ideas have a tendency to show up at random moments when you are busy doing something completely unrelated. You might think you'll remember them later, but you won't. STOP and write them down. Sometimes I even record longer versions of ideas on my cell phone.<br />
I keep lists of random shared websites, artist names, and ideas on my notes section of my iPhone. Sometimes I look at the list and I don't even remember seeing some of the ideas before. But there they are ready and waiting whenever I need them.<br />
A small notebook on your desk, in your car, or by your bedside is another good way to go. I employ all of these! <br /><span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="smile emoticon"><span aria-hidden="true" class="_7oe" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">:)</span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>1 3 . St e p A w a y</b><br />
Regardless of where and how you apply creativity, there will be times when you get stuck. When you don't know what to do next.<br />
Sometimes all you need is to create distance between yourself and your work and you will be able to look at it a moment later with fresh eyes from a different perspective.<br />
When I find myself asking questions about What? Where? How? </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
One rule my dad taught me always sticks in my head. He said,<b> "If in doubt, DON'T!"</b></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>14. Movement</b><br />
There are times when I literally just need to step away from my studio or easel for 5 minutes. But when that doesn't work, the answer will most often come to me the next morning when I'm gardening, on the elliptical, or when I take a morning walk.<br />
Human beings evolved to be on the move and exercise literally makes our brains work better. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>15. Take Long Showers (or Swim)</b>If the answer doesn't come to me when I distance myself, it will come in the shower when I'm all relaxed and away from distractions.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>16. Listen To Music</b><br />
Try listening to music, all kinds of music. Typically, I try something out of my itunes collection. Sometimes, for me, I get inspiration from a lyric. Just one line from a song can spur a whole series! The songs can also trigger past memories of people, places, and moments, which could easily increase your visual appetite. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>17. Let Your Mind Wander </b><br />
(I call this monkey mind.)<br />
Sometimes ideas come to me when I'm letting my mind wander while doing something mindless, like vacuuming, dusting, or cleaning windows.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>18. Look At A Different Point Of View</b><br />
If just stopping when in doubt, you can look for a different perspective by pretending to be someone else. What would the person you admire the most do? What would one of your fellow artists do? How did a famous artist handle the problem? Have you ever seen works similar to you idea?</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>19. Ask For A Critique</b><br />
Just ask someone. A friend, an art teacher, another artist,etc. Sometimes another person's fresh perspective is all you need to get inspired again. Sometimes I ask an unknown observer for a different approach.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>20. When Is Your Most Creative Time Of Day?</b><br />
One other way to boost your creativity is to time your creative pursuits so that they match your chronotype.<br />
Are you a morning-person or a night-owl?<br />
I'm a morning person all the way and I noticed my creativity soared when I managed to change my schedule so that I was creating in the mornings as opposed to afternoons or evenings.<br />
So if you can, it really pays to take advantage of the time of day when you are at your most productive and have the least distractions.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>2 1 . Ju s t D o I t !</b><br />
With that being said, optimizing the conditions conducive to creativity is a luxury not a necessity. If you wait for inspiration and the perfect time, you might be waiting forever. The best way to start is to begin right where you are and then keep going!</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply START creating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay W e l l , St a y Sa f e . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to see you soon!</div>

Cold Wax Alchemy and Open Studio Workshop 2 Days, Saturday August 8 and Sunday August 9, 2020 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 P.M. Explore the endless possibilities of painting with cold wax and oil! Take an intuitive approach into the many uses of luminous cold wax with oil paint, pastel, mark-making tools, brushes, scrapers and more. Composition, color and contrast will be addressed, along with an exploration of visual elements such as line, shape, pattern, texture, form and depth. We will create original pieces and explore effects possible with the oil and cold wax medium by using it as a surface treatment to create completed paintings, collages (including copied photos), and incorporate mixed media by adding oil and cold wax with various 'found' tools. All skill levels would benefit from this class, especially beginners. For previous cold wax participants, Gina will offer critiques, and be there to assist in developing your visual journey. *Bring your oil paints, Arches oil paper, Multimedia board, or recommended 8” x 8” birch board, gesso board, or clayboard panels, an old used gift card, palette paper, wax paper, Wet Ones, and a 12” palette knife or icing spreader. Gina will bring tools to share and several materials for you to try, plus furnish one jar of cold wax. Lunch breaks included.

Most people immediately connect the word “shrine’ with something either religious or contemplative. For this class, a shrine is a self-contained expression of a single thought or theme. (Family, pet, or even a thought or idea {nature}.)<br />
That’s a pretty broad definition that leaves the door open for a variety of interpretations.<br />
Choose an image of a favorite family member, pet or animal, theme or object and lift them to a place of honor using mixed media and collage. Participants will create a ‘Personal or Contemporary Shrine’ by the end of class. We will first create a textured base using a Wabi-Sabi technique with natural fibered papers and ephemera, adding inks and mediums, and then focus on three types of image transfers of your chosen subject/theme and you will learn methods of placing the image-transferred subject on the panel(s) in a place of honor. Once transferred, you can create an interesting surface and visual frame. Bring your own good contrast laser (toner, not inkjet) copies of your choice of images no larger than 4” x 6’ for the project and some that are no more than 2” wide for practice. You may want to bring two copies of the same image.<br />
Gina will provide the wooden base (6” x 6”), a house and arch shape, some natural fiber papers, acrylic paints, Walnut ink, brushes, Pan Pastels, texturing materials, glue, transfer materials, assorted stencils and stamps and more. </div>

Fee includes all wax, solder, soldering irons and soldering setups, one chain included, and other items needed!<br />
Participants will create up to four soldered pendants, with the largest being 1” wide and up to 3” long. We will use wax, metal and small inclusions. For a more personal pendant, you may wish to bring such items as dried flowers, small inspirational words, bits of collage/decorative papers, lace, beads, or small flat charms. If you would like, you can enhance small 1” x 1 ½” to 1” x 3” images from your color or B&W laser printer by placing them in with the wax. Learn fantastic skills and have fun in this exciting new class at 310 ART. (Extra materials will be available for purchase should you wish to create more.) Be sure to bring a drink and lunch! </div>

In this workshop we will dive right in exploring the sculptural possibilities of plaster cloth, wax and encaustic making a totem and shield which best represents your personal idea or creative desire. Rigid and absorbent when dry, plaster cloth makes a wonderful support for dimensional encaustic work. Once the form is created, we will apply Encaustic medium and fuse it to the sculptural composition using a variety of techniques. In the class, we will have a 12” disc and 12” rectangular shape to use as a base for the plaster cloth. As the structures near completion, you will learn how to add found or small personal objects into the sculptures to create your ‘totem’ and discuss ways to finish and display your totem. As we create, we will contemplate our forms and their meanings to us personally, or you can choose to go abstract. Gina will bring the two forms, plaster cloth, decorative papers, Encaustic Medium and pigments, oil sticks, oil pastels, and tools. </div>

I have been astounded by all the wonderful classes, creative visions, and most of all new friendships.<br />
My heart is full, yet I need time now to rejuvenate.<br />
<br />
Feeling the need to work in new directions. Hoping the coming winter months provide me with<br />
time to reflect and experiment in new ways. Time to look at developing new classes, and time to take some classes and travel.<br />
<br />
It is also a time to purge. Time to evaluate older works and perhaps give them new homes, or a new life by working over them. I am looking forward to fall and winter in preparation for a new spring.<br />
<br />
Here are a few highlights of the year.<br />

I spent three glorious days teaching at 310 Art.<br />
This year was my seventh year going to 310. I have been very fortunate to have made new friends and met so many creative souls.<br />
<br />
This year was the first year for the Contemporary Shrine class with image transfers. WOW, such powerful stories at the end. A special thank you for sharing your story!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the images. I will add more soon.<br />
In the meantime, I am planning a third NEW class.....Stay tuned for Spring 2020!<br />
My heart is full!<br />

<strong style="word-wrap: break-word;">Encaustic, the ancient art that dates back to the Greeks and uses hot pigmented beeswax, has made a resurgence in the art world after a quiet 3,000 year hiatus. This exhibit is a curated selection of artists from the mid-Atlantic who all use encaustic in their work in dynamic ways. </strong></div>

<strong style="word-wrap: break-word;">Even with a shared interest in this unique medium, the work itself has a wide range of approaches: from organic to geometric to the narrative and sculptural. </strong></div>

This month I have had the pleasure of meeting several new folks in my classes! what a delight to see the creativity flow. when a person comes in and tells me they have never had an art class and then they leave with not one, but several pieces of work they (and I) adore, it makes my day complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the world today, I feel we just need more outlets for creative expression. All of us...in some form need, art, music, or dance....we need it. It's hearing, it makes the world stop for a while, and we feel refreshed....at least I know I do. </div>

First will be the Lynchburg Art Show at E.C. Glass High School on September 15th (rain date September 16th) from 10-4. This is a wonderful show, in case you have not experienced it, and if you have I hope you come back and say hello!<br />
<br />
Next, November 9th and 10th at Towers Mall, upper Level, the Studio School will present the Art Blast. This year we are in our new indoor location. So far we have 22 artists participating and we anticipate 20 more. This is also our grand opening since we moved to the Towers location. Hope you will come by and say hello and check out our new space.<br />
<br />
Happy creating and stay cool!<br />

<b>A new direction! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last summer I began exploring 3-D with encaustic mediums. During this journey, I have been entranced with the house, bird, and the circle shapes. I plan on continuing this path. By encompassing the forms, I find I can bring a creative narrative to my work. As an artist, I have not yet been satisfied with direction, as I hear from other artists they too are always moving forward to find perfection. I feel now that I am on the right path. I am excited about the wax, materials, elements and feel of the works. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. </div>

What a fantastic class!</div>
<h2 class="wsite-content-title" style="color: #484848; font-family: Montserrat !important; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px auto 0.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>About Encaustic</u>:</span></h2>
<div class="paragraph" style="caret-color: rgb(142, 142, 142); color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;">
Encaustic, a wax-based painting medium characterized by luminous color and lush surface, flourished more than 2,000 years ago in Greco-Roman Egypt.<br />
<br />
Encaustic, from the Greek encuastikos, means to "heat" or "burn". Heat is use at every stage of encaustic painting. The medium consists of beeswax melted with a small amount of resin to impact harness and pigment for the rich colors adde to the molten wax.<br />
<br />
Painting requires quick work, as the wax begins to harden the moment it leaves the heat source. The heat binds each layer to the one set own before it, so while the image my consist of discrete compositional elements, structurally the entire surface is one carefully crafted mass, a "whole ball of wax", if you will. </div>
<h2 class="wsite-content-title" style="color: #484848; font-family: Montserrat !important; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px auto 0.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><u>About Monotypes</u>:</span></h2>
<div class="paragraph" style="caret-color: rgb(142, 142, 142); color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;">
Monotypes are prized because of their unique textual qualities. They are made by drawing on glass or a plate of smooth metal or stone with a greasy substance such as printer's ink or oil paint. Then the drawing is pressed by hand onto a sheet of absorbent paper or is printed on an etching press. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, I find the process very meditative. Colors and textures can be achieved in so many ways with Encaustic, but the paper, ah...the papers! So many possibilities! Here are just a few of the class examples!</div>

This is a great way to create enchanting, mystical mixed media pieces! The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Embrace the flow of something beautiful during the class. Excellent class for beginners! Collage papers, permanent pens, various inks and acrylics will be shared with the class. (If you bring extra, bring natural fiber decorative papers, vintage priced, ephemera, patterned paper, handwritten paper... your choice! You can never have enough paper!) Bring four cradled wood boards 8 x 8 - 1.5" to 2" deep, scissors, and one small bottle of Liquatex gel medium matt. Be sure to bring lunch!</div>

I love being home, no place like it!<br />
This past weekend was Open Studios Tours and I opened up my home to the public.<br />
I had two amazing guest Artists, John Morgan, his wife Charlotte, and Aggie Zed.<br />
<br />
We all had the pleasure of talking about our art and how fortunate we were to have beautiful weather.<br />
A special thank you to everyone who came by and for all the art collectors out there.<br />
Hats off to you for great conversations and compliments.<br />
<br />
See you again next year.Gina Louthian-Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12214000167687630950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160525273329315276.post-92148284513021076222018-04-05T07:36:00.000-04:002018-04-05T07:36:00.706-04:00Open Studios Tour Roanoke 2018<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Open Studios Tour Roanoke!</span><br />
