If you live nearby and want to have some fun, there is an opening at next week's encaustic painting workshop.
I will share techniques including photo transfer, collage, colour, glazing, layering, drawing, printmaking, mono type and, new: cold wax/oil techniques.
Classes are enjoyable for those with no previous art-making experience as well as returning artists who want to further explore this alluring and tactile medium.
Below are a few examples of the versatility of encaustic painting.
*These encaustic tapestries are from a 1998 series that I embarked on after becoming interested in ancient cultural icons-please excuse the glarey photos.
