Description
If you are curious about encaustic painting, this class is for you. If you have taken a class and need a refresher, this class is for you too! In this class we will make our own 6"x6" artworks (more than one!) with encaustic medium and paints. We'll explore various ways to prep a board, how to adjust the opacity of the paints, various ways to add texture, digging in to reveal or fill, adding on, fusing for success and so much more. No experience is necessary — encaustic painting is very forgiving and flexible. And also loads of fun. All materials will be provided!About Michele Messenger:
