Create Bold, Confident Photo Encaustic Artwork at Scale
Are you up for a good creative challenge—especially one that pushes your vision and expands what feels possible in the studio.
Working large does exactly that.
But scaling up in photo encaustic comes with real questions:
Will the panel warp?
How do I keep the surface smooth and consistent?
What happens when the image is bigger than the printer can handle?
Working Large was created to answer those questions clearly—so you can approach large-scale encaustic work with confidence instead of hesitation.
This focused masterclass video distills years of hands-on experience into practical, studio-tested guidance for creating large photo encaustic artwork that is both visually striking and deeply satisfying to make.
Working larger isn’t just about size—it’s about confidence, structure, and intention.
Without the right preparation, large panels can warp, surfaces can become uneven, and images can feel awkward or unresolved. These challenges often stop artists from ever trying—or from trying again.
This course removes that friction.
You’ll learn how to:
– Brace and prepare large substrates so panels remain stable and flat
– Create smooth, consistent encaustic surfaces on a larger scale
– Mount large-format photographic images with confidence
– Tile and align multiple images seamlessly when a single print isn’t possible
Everything is taught with clarity and practicality—so you can move forward without guesswork.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Prepare large panels that resist warping
- Build smooth, reliable encaustic surfaces at scale
- Confidently work with oversized or tiled photographic images
- Eliminate common frustrations associated with working large
- Approach large-scale work with clarity and control
About Clare O’Neill
I’m Clare, a photographer, mixed-media artist, and educator specializing in photo encaustic. For over a decade, I’ve guided artists around the world in combining photography and wax to create work that is layered, expressive, and deeply intentional.
Along the way, I discovered that many artists hesitate to work at scale—not because they lack passion, but because the technical challenges of large panels and big images can feel overwhelming. That insight led me to create Working Large in Photo Encaustic, a focused masterclass that helps artists approach larger formats with confidence, clarity, and practical know-how.
My teaching is rooted in real studio experience and a belief that technique should support—not limit—your vision. Whether it’s choosing the right image, understanding how photos interact with wax, or navigating the logistics of working big, my goal is to help you make thoughtful decisions and enjoy the process from start to finish.
This course is ideal for you if:
- You already have basic experience with encaustic and photography
- You’re curious about working larger but feel unsure where to start
- You want your work to have more visual impact and presence
- You’re ready to push beyond small formats and explore scale
It’s especially helpful for artists preparing for exhibitions, installations, or simply wanting their work to take up more space—physically and creatively.
This course may not be a good fit if:
- You’re brand new to encaustic or photo encaustic
- You’re looking for a general introduction to the medium
- You prefer working exclusively in small formats
If you’re just getting started, I recommend beginning with a foundational course before tackling scale.
