ENCAUSTIC PAINTING
Grimsby Public Art Gallery
Ancient and intriguing, this method of painting originated in Greece, where it was used for the earliest easel and mural painting. A heady combination of colour, melting wax and heat, encaustic mixes dry and oil pigments in hot beeswax.
Jan will demonstrate techniques including: fusion-'burning in', preparation of supports and grounds, glazing, layering and scraping, build up and texture, line and edge, collage and image transfer. Participants will explore these techniques hands on with the expert guidance of the instructor. This workshop is enjoyable for those with no previous art-making experience as well as returning artists who want to further explore this alluring and tactile medium.
