Dive deep into the ancient and mesmerizing world of encaustic painting, a unique technique that utilizes heated beeswax infused with colored pigments. 

In this workshop, you will not only learn about this art form but also craft a finished piece of art under expert guidance. The allure of encaustic paintings lies in their subtle yet captivating details, and though they may appear complex, the fun and simplicity behind creating them will remain our little secret.

Perfect for both novices and seasoned artists, this class offers a holistic introduction to encaustic painting. Starting with establishing a foundational wax layer on the panel, I will then guide you through various engaging techniques to etch designs into the wax. But the fun doesn't stop there. You'll have the chance to bring your etched designs to life, tinting your textured creations with vibrant oil colors. To add a final shimmering touch, you'll be introduced to mica powders, accentuating the intricate details of your artwork.

Join us and immerse yourself in this transformative journey, exploring the confluence of design, color, and wax. Whether you're looking to broaden your artistic horizons or discover a new medium, this workshop promises a blend of learning, creativity, and fun.
