THE BUZZ - Just a reminder for now ~
November 2010
STILL THE ONE!
  
THE CONFERENCE 
Fifth Annual Encaustic Conference in Provincetown early June 2011

Early enrollment has topped previous years and the line-up for this conference makes it again the ONE nobody would miss. 
Reminder: lowest enrollment price of $390 for three full days of intense learning is about to expire.  After November 30th the price will increase.
There are plenty of good hotels nearby the conference.  The Provincetown Inn is already full.  The Moors is getting full fast.
Check the links on The Conference blog for all details and information.
The encaustic conference is a big deal in our lives. It is the only international event bringing together artists, curators, writers, critics, gallerists, product developers, paint manufacturers, and Doctor Wax, all present to share our knowledge and help the artists advance their careers.
You're guaranteed to witness presentations by experts that are not available at any other event.  Joanne Mattera invites THE BEST and the venue is conducive to close contact with all the experts.  There are several opportunities for each artist's work to be seen by presenters and registrants alike.  We all know that those connections made at prior conference years have been priceless to our careers, so...
See you June 3rd!
NEW!  Holy Grail in 15 New Colors!
8colorsHolyGrail
You know about the first gesso made for encaustic paintings: no acrylic, very absorbent and easy to use, non-toxic, all the great things we want to prepare panels for encaustic art.  15 colors have been added in addition to the original White and Black.  A six ounce jar is at the introductory price of $9 and will cover over 5 square feet.  Take a look!
The Intensity of Irgazines

With the addition of Irgazine Blue to the Paint Stick line, there are many new devotees to these ultra-modern pigments.  The Irgazine pigments are intensely rich with each Paint Stick producing magical washes when thinned with a LOT of medium.   Irgazine Blue
Joanne Loves This Red and Montserrat Magenta are our most coveted colors, followed closely by Irgazine Green and Irgazine Yellow. A single Paint Stick makes several blocks of strong paint and mixes easily with all other colors.  Irgazine Blue has now gathered the enthusiasm that Joanne Loves This Red! continues to generate, so ask for a sample with your next order and you decide!
The Master Class: Encaustic Works on Paper was fabulous in so many ways that I need another week to write about it.  Look for a December Newsletter around the bend.  It's always good to follow your blogs and show news.  Keep me posted on all you're doing in your careers!  And I have a little blog that's less business, more personal, but feel free to take a peek here.

Paint Sticks:
Redefining Encaustic Paint
Purdy.Hoffman.Flow
How are our Paint Sticks different from other encaustic paints?  Easy to break (no more melting the whole block to use a little paint), each piece of a Paint Stick should be mixed with at least twice as much medium to produce color at its finest. Most colors can hold tremendous intensity when extended with five or more parts medium!  Any encaustic paint can be extended with far more medium to produce transparent glazes.  Paint Sticks are a combination of dry pigment and encaustic medium in a balance that holds the maximum amount of pigment in each stick.  There are no other ingredients, so expect these to go a long way!
