10:30-4pm
All Levels
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. 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. We will
explore melting and fusing, line and edge, collage and texture. You will
be given a small piece of board (4x5”) on which to practice each
technique demonstrated, and should bring wood panels up to 9x12 for
larger more resolved work. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes and
tools will be provided. No encaustic experience necessary. For students
who have taken encaustic painting in the past this is an opportunity to
review processes, delve into an idea more deeply or try something new.
