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 (4×5”) for each of the techniques demonstrated will be provided. Bring an optional 9×12 inch board for larger work. Equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools are supplied.

NEW Oct 15 Encaustic Monotypes workshop 1-4pm at Studio Two Three, Richmond, VA

www.studiotwothree.org
Encaustic monotypes are made by painting your image on a heated palette with encaustic paint and then that image is lifted from the surface by applying rice paper. Silicone stencils and tools which are heat tolerant are also used on the hot plate to create interesting patterns and texture. These prints dry and solidify immediately leaving a ghost image on the plate that can again be worked into in quick succession.
SUPPLY LIST: Each student will be supplied with paint, medium, rice paper, mark making tools and silicone stencils. Bring your own paper to experiment with and any other heat tolerant tools you may want to try.
You will come away from the workshop having acquired a new skill and a stack of unique monotypes.

Encaustic Painting

all levels

Encaustic painting is an ancient, luminous medium that is made of molten beeswax, pigment, and resin. In the same painting, it can appear smooth, shiny, or textured as well as three-dimensional. This makes it ideal for working abstractly or in a representational style. Explore melting and fusing, line and edge, collage and texture. For experienced students this is an opportunity to review processes, delve into an idea more deeply, or try something new. A small wooden panel for each of the techniques demonstrated will be provided. Bring additional wood panels up to 9” x 12″. The equipment, paint, medium, brushes, and tools will be provided. No encaustic experience necessary.
