Not at all...this is a community for creatives working in all disciplines including painters, photographers, ceramic artists, crafters, photographers, graphic designers, etc -- anyone who is seeking to grow their creative practice into a viable, thriving career and business.
Are you going to be teaching your encaustic techniques inside the membership?
The topic of encaustic comes up often in our live discussions but this is not a painting class...OPENSTUDIO is a members only program where you will advance your creative business development, connect with like-minded peers, learn how to exhibit and sell your work professionally and how to present and market your art to the public. There will not be any specific encaustic component inside this membership program.
However, if you wish to focus on encaustic painting I do have an online course that specifically covers my encaustic techniques.
