Create an encaustic painting, then incorporate a tarry substance within your work to create depth and dramatically enhance the texture. Allow the rich, deep brown to create an artistic juxtaposition between the shiny gloss of the wax and the earthy matte of the tar. Work with bolder colors by subtly muting and softening their intensity. After the in-class exploration of the substance and process, leave with a bit of the tar “medium” to try on other works.

Encaustic classes are designed to stand alone or build upon each other, so feel free to pick and choose or sign up for them all.

Whether you have been curious about the medium or have a background with Encaustics, you will enjoy delving into the rich, yummy world of wax with Whitney. The classes are informative and fun, based on the belief that we learn the most when we are relaxed enough to enjoy ourselves creatively and encouraged to boldly try new techniques and methods.

This class will cover an array of Encaustic tools and techniques, laying the groundwork for further ventures into the waxy world for those who care to take the journey. Full day classes will be offered monthly (with September hosting a full 2 day weekend of wax!). Each class is offered independently, so feel free to pick and choose or sign up for them all. Class size is limited so early registration is encouraged.
