Course Description

Do you want to know how to create beautiful artwork using Encaustic and other Media?

'Layering with Encaustic' is a Pilot class geared towards building a hands-on understanding of Encaustic and the many options and possibilities with this beautiful medium.

Using a flat canvas board as your substrate, you will begin building structural layers by adding Ink, Gelatos, Encaustic Medium and PanPastel.

I explain the materials used and share my process and techniques along the way, walking you through each step.

This is a great introduction for those wanting to learn about Encaustic, for inspiration or new ideas on how to work with Mixed Media.

Artist & Instructor

Naomi Haskell

Mixed Media Artist with a focus on Encaustic. Encaustic is the most beautiful of all artists' medium. Because of it’s nature, however, you have to be willing to relinquish some element of control. The wax has a mind of it’s own, we can only learn to guide and manipulate it. Whether you’re just starting out with encaustic painting or have been painting with this medium for years, my hope is that you pass on what you have learned. As our collective knowledge of this exciting medium expands, we all become its gurus and heralds.
