June 4 Workshop: Beginning Encaustic Painting

http://encausticconference.blogspot.com/p/post-con-workshops.html

Provincetown, MA

Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and natural tree resin. The resulting surface is characterized by lush and translucent color. The viscous medium can be smooth and shiny or textured and three dimensional. After a brief history and a short review of safety practices, demonstrations will be presented of melting and fusing, easy parchment paper image transfer, collaged book making and texture using a brush, heated tools and a rubber stencil. At the end of the workshop you will be familiar with a range of techniques and ready to either work on your own or be prepared for other more advanced workshops.
