ENCAUSTIC PAINTING WITH MIXED MEDIA

Shawna Moore

Course Description

The ancient art of wax painting is a perfect compliment for mixed media work. By combining encaustic painting with current imagery and content, the workshop aims to guide students into the creation of a meaningful and contemporary expression. We will experiment with the use of pigment sticks, etching and imprinting, and oil washes combined with the wax. If you are new to encaustic painting, don’t worry, we will cover the basics to get you started and then begin adding images and additional media. For those with some encaustic experience, we will look into some additional techniques not previously covered. Spend each day working in the studio with the instructor demonstrating new technieques each day and answering individual questions.
