FULL as of 7/24

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.

Visual Arts Center, Richmond, VA

FULL as of 2/9 

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.

Encaustic painting is a process that produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces and textures. Artists come to encaustic painting from many other mediums which then creates a dynamic and rich experience. Areas covered in this workshop include: safe studio practices, surface prep and resources.  Various demonstrations will be scheduled with plenty of time for students to experiment.  Learn techniques such as: melting through, line and edge, transfers, texture and collage.  Each person can choose to practice all of these methods or just the ones that interest them. At the end of the workshop, artists will be familiar with a range of techniques which they can use as they develop their body of work.

Paint, equipment, tools and small practice panels will be supplied. Bring wood panels up to 9x12" if you'd like to make larger, more resolved work.

An optional materials list will be supplied once you register.
