BEGINNING ENCAUSTIC WORKSHOPS
Many people have expressed an interest in learning about encaustic painting -- painting with molten beeswax and pigments. Painting with warm, pigmented beeswax is incredibly fun and, since the wax acts like a glue, it's the ultimate medium for incorporating a variety of materials. Warm wax flows like paint, cools quickly and is translucent, allowing you to build up interesting layers of color and texture without waiting around watching paint dry.
And now you have the opportunity to learn it for yourself!

BEGINNING WORKSHOPS: (2-Day)
In this class you'll jump right in and explore this wacky, waxy world. Using a very guided process, we'll start with the basics of how to prime surfaces, mix colors, fuse between layers and how to achieve various textures and effects. From there we'll quickly move on to the really interesting stuff like collage, embedding found objects, sgraffito, accretion, stamping, and stencils. Along the way we'll also learn how to safely use the tools and materials, as well as a bit about color, composition and design.

Encaustic is a wonderfully forgiving medium and perfect for the absolute beginner,
so no experience or artistic "talent" is required for this class. Students are always happily amazed
by their own creations and will leave the class with their own 12" x 12" painting.
And the best part of all: I SUPPLY EVERYTHING! You don't need
to bring a thing except a beverage and money for lunch.
Tuition: $250 ($30 materials fee and $220 teaching fee.)
All supplies and tools will be provided.
Time: 10 am to 4 pm (allowing one hour for lunch)
The two days are intensive, but highly enjoyable.
Students will leave the hands-on workshop with their own encaustic painting
and a solid foundation with which to further explore this unique medium.
By the end of the two days, you will learn the techniques used in these three paintings:
