Encaustic painting produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces and textures, such as on wood panels and is an excellent material for all kinds of work. Students will learn the step-by-step process including layering transparent color, imprints, and working with stencils, the stylus and texture. Understanding the properties of encaustic is the first step to incorporating it into your work. At the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with a range of skills and creative possibilities that will influence their own work. No encaustic experience is necessary. Open to all skill levels.

Encaustic painting is an ancient, luminous medium that is made of molten beeswax, pigment, and resin. In the same painting, it can appear smooth, shiny, or textured as well as three-dimensional. This makes it ideal for working abstractly or in a representational style. Explore melting and fusing, line and edge, collage and texture. For experienced students this is an opportunity to review processes, delve into an idea more deeply, or try something new. A small wooden panel for each of the techniques demonstrated will be provided. Bring additional wood panels up to 9” x 12″. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes, and tools will be provided. No encaustic experience necessary.
