Take your encaustic practice to the next level. This in-depth 3-day workshop will include a discussion regarding various approaches to working in encaustic followed by a brief overview of studio set-up and safety. We will then dive into substrate and surface prep; ways of using the heated palette for mixing and blending colours; working with encaustic paint to create both visual and physical texture while experimenting with various mark making media; finishing our pieces by finessing colours and texture using R&F Pigment sticks. Some of the techniques covered include mastering brush work, smooth colour transitions, glazing, creating depth and dimension, controlling texture and smooth luminous surfaces. Encaustics encourages everyone to explore and experiment, to find their own unique voice.
