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. You will explore melting and fusing, line and edge, collage and working with photos and texture. 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. You will be given a small wooden panels (4x5”) for each of the techniques demonstrated, and you can bring your own 9x12 inch boards for larger work. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided by the instructor. This is a solvent free medium.

No prior encaustic experience necessary.

March 9, 2013 Encaustic Workshop, The Workhouse, Lorton, VA

All Skill Levels, Young Adults & Adults

Class limited to six students! This workshop is for artists who are new to encaustic or have already got their hands into the wax. Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and dammar resin. Once an ancient process, it is now updated with new tools and equipment. The process produces impressive results with jewel- like surfaces and textures. We will cover safe studio practices, melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, photography and texture. The participant will be supplied with a small practice panel (4x6”) for each technique on which to practice. I supply the equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools. For larger work please bring 9x12 inch wood panels.
