DEMO! Get Started with Encaustic Painting
From Set-Up, to Supplies, to Mixing & Applying the Medium
Have you always wanted to try the ancient art of painting with HOT WAX? Now’s your chance to learn everything you need to get started with Encaustics!
Join Mastrius Mentor Isabelle Gaborit as she gives a detailed LIVE DEMO in setting up and painting with encaustics. Isabelle will provide a background of what encaustic painting is, a step-by-step process, how to set- up your workstation, and how to heat, mix, and apply the paint and wax to your substrate.
Encaustic painting is extremely versatile, letting you explore your unique creative techniques and styles. It can produce various results, from a smooth finish to a textural surface, so the possibilities are endless for your creativity.
You will learn:
- An INTRODUCTION to encaustics and the encaustic painting process.
- What encaustic medium is made from and if you should MAKE YOUR OWN or BUY IT already made.
- HEAT SOURCES to use to keep the encaustic melted and how to FUSE LAYERS.
- What SUPPLIES & TOOLS you need to get started and how to care for them.
- How to APPLY the medium, MIX colors, and FUSE the layers.
- And so much more!
