Encaustic Explorations: encaustic and mixed media with Bridgette Guerzon Mills

Combining encaustic with other materials and media opens a world of creative possibilities! Encaustic is a wax based paint (composed of beeswax, resin and pigment), which is kept molten on a heated palette. It is applied to an absorbent surface and then reheated in order to fuse the paint. Learn about painting with this ancient medium in this hands-on introductory workshop where you’ll learn safe studio practices and the encaustic painting basics. Various techniques will also be demonstrated including how to incorporate mixed media processes with encaustic such as photo transfers, embedded collage, glazes with pigment sticks, and incorporating found materials. This class takes the intro to encaustic painting class into the next level with mixed media techniques. This is a process class- come and explore this versatile medium!
