There are such rich, lustrous effects one can achieve with encaustics, results that serve imagery from realism through abstraction.  I’ve created with encaustic since 1994 and have fallen in love with its potential of surface, depth, color and translucency. While we’ll learn and practice and experiment painting with pigmented molten waxes on wood panels, the versatile techniques can be utilized on clay, paper and fiber.  We’ll thoroughly learn from the basics on, including more advanced techniques in color inlay, collage and assemblage.  In my personal work, I’ve been seeking finesse of brushwork in lost and found edges, luminous glazing and color interaction as well as encaustic work on and of paper.  Previous and intermediate students very welcome! I’d love to share what I know with you.
