No class 11/11
Experience the process of working with the solvent-free, luminous colors of encaustic in a supportive, experimental, and fun atmosphere
Beginners
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.
