The word “Encaustic” i s a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax and Damar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax an d resin is melted\, pigment can be added\, and applied in layers to a poro us surface with brushes and other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to f use it to the previous layer. Encaustic mediums and paints are a versatile \, spontaneous medium. They can be re-melted to create different effects\, layered in opaque or translucent layers\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, sculpted\, polished\, or combined with a variety of materials to create co llage works. Unlike other paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it go es from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds\, allowing add itional layers to be added immediately.\nThis class will teach you the bas ics in Encaustic painting.
