The Golden Hour, Painting the Warmth: Landscape Painting in Encaustic at the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine

Wednesday and Thursday, Oct 25 and 26, 2023, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Investigate the ancient medium of encaustic in this very hands-on workshop, and develop sketches/photographs/ideas about the fall landscape into encaustic paintings. While making choices in how to approach the landscape, students will explore a rich variety of marks, transfer, and stencil techniques. Class time will be divided between demonstrations, individual work time, and discussion about Maine’s strong contemporary and historical connection to the landscape genre. We will also touch on proper studio ventilation, wax safety, and how to “finish” artworks in terms of framing and care. Students will leave with multiple finished pieces and the understanding of proper studio set-up.
