Course Summary
Immerse yourself in the evocative, layered, and story-telling possibilities of photographs secreted beneath the dreamy depths of encaustic wax in this four-day workshop. Explore techniques to print, distress and alter inkjet, LaserJet, fabric- and professionally-printed photos, so they possess the qualities of both photograph and hand-painted fine art. Bathe your photographs and prints in sweet-smelling beeswax, learning encaustic techniques to transfer, colour, fuse, alter, glaze, smooth, texture, highlight and gild images. Learn encaustic fundamentals: studio set up, safety, tools, techniques, materials and more. Suitable for new and experienced artists alike.
Students will complete five 8” x 10” photo paintings and several sample boards.
