In this 2-day workshop we will celebrate the vibrancy of Autumnal trees and earth in the ancient medium of encaustic. Explore a variety of ways to transfer your sketches and photographs onto the beeswax!  Learn additive and subtractive encaustic processes to create a dramatic landscape painting. Also, develop approaches to painting that push your  individual vision. Class is Friday October 25 and Saturday October 26.

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. This class is perfect for a newbie to encaustic painting or someone who wants to revisit process and practice!

Starter panels will be provided by the instructor, but students are expected to bring their own panels for finished works or developed drafts. Upon registration, you will receive further details about panel choices, along with a list of additional materials that you are invited to bring to the course.
