All Skill Levels, Young Adults & AdultsThis workshop is for artists who are new to encaustic or have had some experience. Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and dammar resin. Once an ancient process, it is now updated with new tools and equipment. The process produces impressive results with luminous and jewel- like surfaces and textures. We will explore melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, and texture. The participant will be supplied with a small piece of board (4x6”) for each technique on which to practice. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be supplied

Experience the process of working with the solvent-free, luminous colors of encaustic; ideal for beginners. Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and resin. Techniques of melting and fusing the wax, making clean lines and edges, and methods of texture, and collage will be demonstrated and discussed. Encaustic is ideal for working abstractly or in a more representational style. A small wooden panel (4x5?) for each of the techniques demonstrated will be provided. Bring an optional 9x12 inch board for larger work. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools are supplied.

Encaustic is a once ancient, luminous medium that is made of molten beeswax, pigment and resin. This process produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces andtextures.   It can be smooth & shiny and textured & three-dimensional all on the same painting; ideal for working abstractly or in a representational style. 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. Explore melting and fusing, line and edge, collage and texture. Small demo panels, equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided. No encaustic experience necessary.

This is a solvent free medium. An optional materials list will be emailed to you once you register
