SUMMARY:Encaustic Painting for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Instructor - Kris Straukas\n&nbsp\;\n      \n&nbsp\;\nWhat i
 s Encaustic Painting? The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meaning “
 to heat or burn in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax and Dam
 ar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is melted\, pigmen
 t can be added\, and applied in layers to a porous surface with brushes an
 d other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to fuse it to the previous lay
 er. Encaustic mediums and paints are a versatile\, spontaneous medium. The
 y can be re-melted to create different effects\, layered in opaque or tran
 slucent layers\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, sculpted\, polished\, or c
 ombined with a variety of materials to create collage works. Unlike other 
 paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liquid to a soli
 d state and back again in seconds\, allowing additional 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 safe working temperatur
 e\, tools required and safety precautions to get you started. Experiment w
 ith different materials to create an 8 x 8 collage. All materials are incl
 uded. \n\nDATES: Three to Choose From: April 29th or May 20th or June 17t
