Encaustic Painting Workshop with Carol Aaron

Workshop Paintings Arts & Culture Classes

What’s Happening?

Carol Aaron returns with a three-hour encaustic painting class where you will learn to paint safely with a molten combination of beeswax, damar resin, and powdered pigments. You will blend colors, build textures, fuse with a heat gun, and use various tools for scraping and incising. At the end of the class, you’ll leave with an archival 6 x 6” painting that you created, and the skills to make more!

·       Learn how to safely work with heated wax and pigments.

·       Experiment with layering, fusing, and mark-making methods.

·       Create your own one-of-a-kind encaustic artwork to take home.

This introductory class doesn't require any artistic skill. All you need is a desire to be creative and an appreciation for textured art.

This event will take place outdoors in the Neill-Cochran House Museum Centennial Courtyard.
