Encaustic Painting & Collage
Saturday, June 16, 10 am - 4 pm, $175
Saturday, July 14, 10 am - 4 pm, $175
No painting or drawing experience is necessary for this one day beginning encaustic painting & collage class.
Encaustic is one of the oldest forms of painting, with paint made from pure pigment mixed with wax and resin. The mixture is applied hot, then reheated to fuse the layers together. We'll start fusing using a heat gun, but the use of an iron and a small torch will also be covered. You'll be amazed at how simple it is to collage with wax instead of glue to incorporate papers and dried plants. Don't worry if you haven't tried anything like this before, the medium is very forgiving. I'll have lots of collage materials available for you to play with or you can stick with just using the paint. You can work in any style you choose.
All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring some of your favorite images or natural materials for your own personal touch. Topics will include: a brief history of encaustic, controlling your paint, adding papers, using natural materials, safety issues and home set up. Students will leave class with 2 - 3 finished projects.
