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 photos 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 panel 4x6 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

Encaustic painting, once an ancient medium, is now updated with new tools and equipment. This process 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 include: safe studio practices, surface preparation and resources. Various demonstrations will be scheduled with plenty of time to experiment. Participants will learn techniques such as melting through, line and edge, transfers, texture and incorporating paper and photos. 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 in their work.
