April 26, 2014 all day all levels of encaustic painting at The Workhouse, Lorton, VA

complete

This workshop is for artists who are new to encaustic or have only just started. Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and damar 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, patterns 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. (Meets in W-7)

April 8 Encaustic painting: all levels. Six Tuesday evenings 6:00-8:30pm at Visarts, Richmond, VA

FULL as of 3/18

Experience the process of working with the solvent-free, luminous colors of encaustic in a supportive, experimental, and fun atmosphere



Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and resin. It can be smooth and shiny or textured and three-dimensional all on the same painting. We will explore melting and fusing the wax, making clean lines and edges, texture, and collage. Encaustic is ideal for working abstractly or in a more representational style. You will be given a small wooden panel (4x5”) for each of the techniques demonstrated, and you can bring your own 9x12 inch boards for larger work. The instructor will provide equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools.
