Encaustic Painting
Session Two: June 2-14

Kristy Deetz
Encaustic Painting

Encaustic painting uses pigment and warm wax applied to a variety of surfaces. Encaustic does not yellow, it repels moisture, it enhances surface texturing, it responds to continual reworking, and it lends itself to embedding images within multiple layers of wax. Students will apply encaustic to a variety of surfaces and learn a full range of additive and subtractive techniques, including fusing, scraping, casting, dipping, layering, and burnishing. We will prepare painting supports with materials such as encaustic gesso, handmade gesso, fabric, and gold leaf. This workshop will cover all the basics of encaustic painting along with experimental approaches such as collage, image transfer, stencils, and block-outs. All levels.
