Experience the process of working with the solvent-free, luminous
colors of encaustic in a supportive, experimental and fun atmosphere.
All Levels

Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax,
pigment and resin. It can be smooth and shiny or textured and
three-dimensional all on the same painting. We will explore melting and
fusing the wax, making clean lines and edges, texture, and collage.
Encaustic is ideal for working abstractly or in a more representational
style. You will be given a small wooden panel (4x5”) for each of the
techniques demonstrated, and you can bring your own 9x12 inch boards for
larger work. The instructor will provide equipment, paint, medium,
brushes and tools. No encaustic experience is 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.
