Beginning Encaustic Wax Work Shop
A fun-filled 2-day beginning workshop designed to introduce artists to the encaustic medium by way of lecture/demonstration and hands-on work. Students are always surprised how easy it is to fall in love with the versatility of the medium as well as the wonderful smell of the beeswax.
Topics include:
· A brief overview of the history of the medium, current contemporary artists, and safety practices.
· Proven techniques will be established in the instruction of building a painting from the panel up...covering the basics of grounds and supports/ medium/ basics of paint/ fusing options and techniques.
· Issues to consider in setting up your own encaustic studio will be addressed.
· Considerations in storing and shipping will be discussed at the end of the workshop.
· Reference resources will be included for purchase of tools, brushes, medium and substrates.
· Each student will complete at least one or two sample boards, followed by a friendly critique and discussion summary of the workshop.
