Have you been curious about Encaustics or ways you can incorporate encaustic into your current art practice?

Among the oldest forms of painting, encaustics holds a myriad of possibilities to the modern artist. Encaustics have a beautiful otherworldly depth and a tactile, sumptuous surface. The encaustic painting can be as smooth as glass or it can be built up, scraped back, drawn on and carved into. The combinations are endless. 

Encaustic is an amazingly durable art form that has been in use for centuries. Encaustic Painting involves using wax medium to which colour pigments have been added, then heated on an encaustic palette and applied to a rigid substrate however, its application goes far beyond that.

We hope you can join Megan Mac Donald as she gives us an demonstration and overview of encaustic painting.
