Introduction to Encaustic Painting @ Picket Fence Art Studio

Pair your wine-tasting adventure with an art experience.

Encaustic is a wax-based paint (composed of beeswax, resin, and pigment), which is kept molten on a heated palette. It is applied to an absorbent surface and then reheated to fuse the paint.

During the 2.5-hour course, you will be guided from start to finish to create a mixed media encaustic piece. We will start with a brief introduction to encaustics and then dive right in. You will learn:

How to prepare the surface for wax,
How to embed mixed media objects,
How to add details with an encaustic pen, and
How to finish off your project with pan-pastels.

Everyone will leave with a finished encaustic piece of art.
