Below is another image continued after demonstrating techniques at a recent encaustic 'mini' workshop.
These shorter workshops are working out great, as
people are busy with well, busy lives-yet they still have a nice chunk of
time to immerse themselves in learning and playing.

I incorporated image transfer, collage, glazing, layering and drawing into the above image. In the encaustic painting workshops, I will share these methods as well as mono type and cold wax/oil techniques.
Even though I have been working with this luscious medium for over 15 years I am still in wonder of it's versatility.
Ancient and intriguing, this
method of painting originated in Greece, where it was used for the
earliest easel and mural painting. A heady combination of colour, melting wax
and heat, encaustic mixes dry and oil pigments in hot beeswax.
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.
Very nice piece. The encaustic methods are well realized and perfectly employed. Great title as well. All the best!
