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 on the same painting. We will explore melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, texture and collage. It is ideal for working abstractly or in a more representational style. Encaustic, once an ancient process, is now updated with new tools and equipment. The participants will be supplied with a small wooden panels 4x5 inches on which to practice each of the techniques. Bring your own 9x12 inch pieces for larger work. This is a solvent free medium. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided by the instructor. No prior experience necessary.

For those of you who have taken the beginner workshop or classes from me, you can enroll as an independent study that will take place during the workshop. Contact me regarding the specifics. 


Enrollment limited to 6 students.
