11-3pm

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 scraping. It is ideal for scribing with lines, working abstractly or in a more representational style. Encaustic, once an ancient process, is now updated with new tools and equipment. Each participant will be supplied with a small piece of board (4×6”) for each of the techniques. If you would like to work larger please bring wood panels up to 9×12”. This is a good size for workshops. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided. This is a solvent free medium.

  Understanding the properties of encaustic is the first step to  incorporating it into your work.

January 26, 2013 Saturday, The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen, VA

Encaustic Painting

Encaustic painting is a process that 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 collage. 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. Paint, equipment, tools and small practice panels will be supplied. Bring wood panels up to 9”x12” if you'd like to make larger, more resolved work.

An optional materials list will be supplied once you register.
