Introduction to Encaustic Painting with Alla Zbinovsky

Four Fridays, September 23 – October 14, 2022, from 10:00 – 12:30 PM.

Non-Members $220 / Members $190 includes $50 materials fee

This workshop will provide an introduction to the art of painting with hot wax and pure pigments. Participants will learn the exciting, ancient process of creating luminous paintings! We will cover the basics of working with beeswax, color, and a heat gun, using the materials safely and efficiently. Techniques explored will be fusing, layering, incising, as well as embedding, and collaging.

Instructor demos and examples, as well as lots of student painting time, allow for hands-on learning. Students should come to class with 7-8 cradled wood or Masonite panels, preferably smaller sizes like 8x8, 10x10, or 12x12. Students will be working on two panels during each class.
