Encaustic Painting at the Visual Arts Center, Richmond, VA

Encaustic painting is a simple process that produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces and textures. Heated wax can be fused and melted to create luscious layers for collage of paper, fabric and dried organic materials. The surfaces can be rough and sculptural or smooth and shiny. It is ideal for scribing with lines, working abstractly or in a more representational style. This is a solvent free medium. You will learn the essentials to get started.  Enrollment limited to 6 students.

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 in the same painting. We will explore melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, texture, scraping and incising. Encaustic, once an ancient process, is now updated with new tools and equipment. The participant will be supplied with a small piece of board (4x6”) on which to practice each new technique. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes, and tools will be provided . No prior art experience necessary.
