Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax,
pigment and resin. It can be smooth and shiny, textured and
three-dimensional all on the same painting. We will explore melting and
fusing, line and edge, working with paper, texture photos and
collage. It is ideal for working abstractly or in a more
representational style. Encaustic, once an ancient process, is now
updated with new tools and equipment. The participants will be supplied
with a small wooden panel 4x6 inches for each of the techniques
demonstrated. Bring your own 9x12 inch boards for larger work. This is a
solvent free medium. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will
be provided . No prior encaustic experience necessary. A
materials list will be e-mailed upon class confirmation.
