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. No experience is necessary for this quick start wax class.
We'll start with a group painting exercise to help you try several colors while learning the basic fusing techniques using a heat gun.
All supplies will be provided. Topics will include: brief history, layering and fusing wax, adding texture and how to set up at home.
