Encaustic Experience: Get it While it’s Hot! (San Diego, CA)

Explore the magical world of encaustic painting and discover a lost art that has captivated painters for over 2000 years. The transparent and luminous effects of encaustic are often what captures the attention of artists. Encaustic means to “burn or heat” and comes from the Greek, enkaustikos. During this 6 hour class, you will learn the basics of encaustic painting, including history, safe practices, use of equipment and tools, building smooth and textured surfaces, photo transfer, carving and incising, layering and collage. Demonstration of techniques will be followed by practice, and you will leave at the end of the day with many examples of your own work.
