October 13, 2012 Saturday Workhouse Arts Center, Lorton, VA

 11am - 5pm

All Skill Levels                     complete


This workshop is for artists who are new to encaustic or have already got their hands into the wax.

 Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and dammar resin. Once an ancient process, it is now updated with new tools and equipment. The process produces impressive results with jewel- like surfaces and textures. 
We will cover safe studio practices, melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, photography and texture. The participant will be supplied with a small practice panel (4x6”) for each technique on which to practice. I supply the equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools. 

Once you've registered I will contact you with an optional materials list.

11-4pm

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 and texture. 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 panel 4x5 inches for each of the techniques demonstrated. Bring your own 9x12 inch boards for larger work. This is a solvent free medium. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided.
