Introduction to Encaustics

September 27 @ 10:00 am - September 28 @ 4:00 pm

Drip, pour, drag, layer, heat, and incise! Learn the art of encaustic painting in this hands-on workshop using pigmented wax and a heated palette! Through a rich variety of marks and surfaces, explore the various painting techniques of this seductive medium. We will also look to CMBG’s gardens as sources of inspiration. Class time will be divided between demonstrations, individual work time, and a rich overview of the history of this ancient medium. We will also touch upon proper studio ventilation, wax safety, and how to “finish” artworks in terms of framing and care. Students will leave with multiple finished pieces and an understanding of proper studio set-up.
