August 28-30 – Learn how to create the effect of encaustic painting using acrylic materials. You will learn to layer different materials into your work and you’ll see how this technique is both different and similar to wax encaustic.

Learn to create the wax-like look of encaustic painting with the durability of acrylics. Mimic the soft, luminous effects of beeswax by applying multiple layers of acrylic paints and gels layer upon layer. Cut and bury paper images and stenciled patterns deep below the surface and create lovely soft translucent layers over them. Become familiar with encaustic-like wax formulas and give your artwork a whole new feeling. Open to all levels of painting experience.”
