The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meanin g “to heat or burn in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax an d Damar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is melted\, p igment can be added\, and applied in layers to a porous surface with brush es and other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to fuse it to the previou s 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 collage works. Unlike o ther paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds\, allowing additional layers to be added immediately.\nThis class will teach you the basics in Encaustic pain ting. Learn how to melt the medium and keep it within a safe working tempe rature\, tools required and safety precautions to get you started. Experim ent with different materials to create an 8 x 8 collage.\nLevel -  Beginn er\nView/Print Class Information and Material List\nMaterial List\nNone (a ll materials are included)\nGot a question about this class?  Write to Kr is:\n[contact-form to="kstraukasart@gmail.com" subject="Got a Question for Kris"][contact-field label="Name" type="name" required="1"][contact-field label="Email" type="email" required="1"][contact-field label="Message" ty pe="textarea"][/contact-form]\n\n[envira-gallery id="40720"] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/sawneeart.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2019/03/Kris-Straukas-Bio-Pic-e1552684863708.png?fit=181%2C220&ssl=1 CATEGORIES:Painting LOCATION:Cumming Arts Center\, 111 Pilgrim Mill Rd\, Cumming\, GA 30040\, C umming\, GA\, 30041\, United States GEO:34.210207;-84.132135 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=111 Pilgrim Mill Rd\, Cummi ng\, GA 30040\, Cumming\, GA\, 30041\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X- TITLE=Cumming Arts Center:geo:34.210207,-84.132135 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
