Description:

Learn the ancient art of painting in encaustic! In this beginning encaustic class we will learn the basics of painting in this versatile and expressive medium. Molten beeswax, damar resin and pigments combine to form the paint and your palette will be a hot plate! This is a hands-on studio course where you will learn application, fusing, color mixing, etching, texturing, transfers, collaging, embedding and more through demonstrations and practice. The class will be kept small enough so that each participant will have one on one instruction. Open to artists and those who don’t yet know they are artists.
