and resins, which are then melted and pigmented with oil colours. During this day and half play shop, we will explore encaustic painting with these advanced techniques:
• image transfers, colour and
black and white
• rub-ons
• charcoal
• oil pastels & wax pastels
• gold/copper/aluminium leaf
• oil sticks
• gouging with diverse tools
• adding texture and dimension
with masking areas and dry
brushing textures
• encaustic iron & other hot tools

Beginners and those with encaustic experience welcome.
