About the Event

Experience the ancient technique of encaustic painting in this full-day workshop within my art studio in Decatur, GA.  Learn my personal techniques as you practice painting with a blowtorch and melting luscious wax to create beauty, I'll cover history, safety, equipment, and in-depth processes. Receive a full education on layering, texture building, mark-making, dry brush/scumbling, translucency/opacity, color mixing and more.


At the end of class, I'll demonstrate creating paintings with photographic prints. Bring your 8x10" prints to life with beeswax. Inkjet prints of family, pets, self-portraits or vacation memories are perfect. Landscape or seascape photos can become a beautiful fine art paintings. After registering, email Penny to discuss ideas for your photo encaustic piece and help with printing. No experience necessary and all supplies provided. Perfect for creatives and non-artists and family or work holiday experiences!
