June 15 Workshop at The Visual Arts Center, Richmond, VA

Encaustic Painting Workshop

complete

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

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. No encaustic experience is necessary. For students who have taken encaustic painting in the past this is an opportunity to review processes, delve into an idea more deeply or try something new.

This workshop is for those who have had some experience with encaustic painting and who are interested in using texture and patterns to not only enrich the surface of their work but to build the structure within the painting. You will have the opportunity to try the accretion technique using a slightly cooler brush, the heated palette knife to create stalagmites of wax, a thick stencil to create pattern and the batik pen for serpentine lines. You will have hardware store items as well as tools that are usually used for other mediums available to try out.
