Description: This course is an introduction to the fundamental skills required for encaustic painting. This workshop is open to all levels, however a basic knowledge of colour theory is helpful. The aim of this workshop is to teach technique!
Day 1 will be comprised of demonstration (including important safety guidelines) followed by a hands-on, step-by-step tutorial. Through the replication of a finished sample painting each participant will learn and practice a variety of techniques and skills involved in the application and fusing of wax in order to achieve different effects.
Day 2 will be an open studio. Participants are free to experiment with different techniques in order to better understand how they might apply encaustics to their own work. As the class size is limited to only six participants I will be available to help each individual refine a process of application and fusing in order to achieve their desired result.
