This is a 2 for 1 technique class. Encaustic Basics, and Encaustic Foil Collage. Encaustic painting is so easy and relaxing you are going to think it's meditation. With very little practice you will be able to produce 60 second ready to frame works of art. The first couple of hours will be devoted to basics, learning the use of hot colored wax on paper. I will demonstrate wax monoprinting and how to build a collage using these monoprints, foils, and other ephemera to produce 3-5 mini collages.
