Encaustic Workshop with Anne Mccune

Join artist, Anne McCune—included in our Storm exhibition—for an encaustic (hot wax) workshop where you’ll learn about the origins of encaustic painting and produce 2 finished pieces of your own! You will learn how to make encaustic paintings from start to finish, including: preparing your panel so that your painting will last forever; how to apply, layer and fuse your wax paint in order to achieve a smooth surface or highly textured surface; and how to scrape and incise the paint for different effects. In addition, Anne will share some of the several ways you can add to your encaustic experience with collage, oil sticks, pan pastels, underpainting, and more.

Saturday, March 25 12–3 p.m.
