I received the first press proofs of my revised book yesterday and they looked better than I ever imagined! The resolution is so good that you can see brush strokes in many of the works and the color is brilliant. I was especially interested in seeing the work of my 25 guest artists, as those are all new to this edition of the book.
Here’s a list of the guest artists who will be included in the Embracing Encaustic: Learning to Paint with Beeswax:
Elizabeth Back
Janet Bartlett Goodman
Andrea Benson
Natasia Chan
Linda Cordner
Mary Farmer
Kevin Frank
Amber Geroge
Eileen Goldenberg
Diana Gonzalez Gandolfi
Bridgette Guerzon Mills
Jeff Juhlin
Kimberly Kent
Scott Reilly
Sue Roberts
Paula Roland
Marybeth Rothman
Tracy Spadafora
Amy Stoner
Alicia Tormey
Elise Wagner
Judith Williams
Judy Wise
Daniella Woolf
Gregory Wright
In addition to sharing their work in the book, each artist also shares some insight into how the work was created, often sharing surprising tips and tricks along the way. I think this is my favorite aspect of the new edition. These artists have been so generous in sharing their knowledge! To view more work by each of these artists visit www.embracingencaustic.com for links to their web sites.
I’m expecting the books to arrive by the end of May. I’ll announce it on this blog when they are available for purchase!

I got several quotes but decided on Transcontinental in Canada because they had the best customer service and their prices were comparable to Friesens, another publisher a friend recommended.
My rep, Mathieu Liboiron, was very patient with me as a newcomer and really helped me make some good decisions. I had originally planned to order 1000 books to start with — remember this is all coming out of my pocket — but upped it to 1500 because there has been so much interest. That was a huge decision for me, but very exciting!

Hi all,
Well, to be honnest, I have to let all of you know that Linda is a pearl to work with and, one of the major reason that this book is currently going so well at the plant is that everything was supplied perfectly and done with a lot of professionalism even for a newcomer in the printing world.
Due to this, the whole process goes much faster and a lot smoother
Thanks and have a great day all !
