| Exploring Encaustics |
|
 The medium of Encaustic is an art form dating back to ancient times when artists painted funeral portraits in beeswax. The word comes from the Greek word – encaustikos, meaning “to burn in’. Encaustic art involves melting beeswax with tree sap to create encaustic medium then adding pigments to the melted medium to produce encaustic paint. The melted beeswax medium and paint is applied to the surface with a brush and then fused with heat to melt to the layers below. Through a myriad of different techniques and the infusion of heat, the surface of the wax can be manipulated to create a finished painting.
Join Donna Hanson as she leads you in the exploration of this seemingly mysterious medium, learning a variety of techniques that will open your mind to all that encaustic painting can do. This class will allow you to play with melted beeswax as you learn a variety of encaustic techniques. This is a fun and exciting way to dip your toes into this intriguing art medium!
