The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in”. Encaustic medium is made of n atural Beeswax and Damar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax and re sin is melted\, pigment can be added\, and applied in layers to a porous s urface with brushes and other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to fuse it to the previous layer. Encaustic mediums and paints are a versatile\, s pontaneous medium. They can be re-melted to create different effects\, lay ered in opaque or translucent layers\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, scul pted\, polished\, or combined with a variety of materials to create collag e works. Unlike other paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes f rom a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds\, allowing additio nal layers to be added immediately.\nThis class will teach you the basics in Encaustic painting. Learn how to melt the medium and keep it within a s afe working temperature\, tools required and safety precautions to get you started.
