Encaustic painting is a versatile, spontaneous medium using beeswax mixed with colored pigments that are applied melted to an absorbant surface. It is one of the earliest painting techniques dating back as far as 100-300AD. Encaustic goes from solid to liquid and back to solid and can be used to create layers and textures. It can also be combined with other materials to create mixed media works of art.
In this one day workshop for adults (ages 15 and up) students will receive an introduction to Encaustic Painting. We will explore various techniques as we learn about the versatility of working with Encaustics. Students will incorporate collage and mixed media to create unique, self expressive work. No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided and you are welcome to bring any collage materials you would like to work with such as fabric, xerox or inkjet copies or other images.
Instructor Kathy Loisel grew up in Houston, Texas and received a BFA in painting and studio art from Southwest Texas State University. She has enjoyed painting, printmaking and mixed media for over 30 years.
