Encaustic painting is considered one of the most ancient media in the world. Encaustic paint is made of beeswax, damar resin and pigment, and is applied in a molten state. Afterward each layer is reheated to fuse it to the layer beneath. Beeswax is both a sealant and a preservative, so various materials such as paper can be collaged into the work. Layers of color, images, quotes or any porous material can be incorporated into a piece.
This hands-on workshop will introduce you to working with encaustic on board. We will be painting, collaging, and using transfer methods with the wax. All supplies are included, and you can bring your own images or papers if you want to further personalize your pieces.
