Intro to Painting with Encaustics
Description
Encaustic painting is the process of using melted and pigmented beeswax to create exciting, luminous paintings. Led by Amy Schissel, WVU assistant professor in painting, this workshop covers a brief history of the ancient medium, making paints from scratch, mixing colors, adding other media like paper, photo-transfers, and thread, and working safely with your materials. Each participant will walk away with one or more ready-to-hang works. Materials included. Ages 16 and up. All skill levels. $25 for WVBG members, $35 for non-members.
