Encaustic Photo Transfer Painting [Workshop]

Want to take your photography to the next level? Want to learn how to incorporate photographs into your work? Then join encaustic artist Marcia Streithorst as she teaches you all about encaustic painting while walking you through a photo transfer into your encaustic painting. You will paint on a wood birch panel using an encaustic medium [e.g. wax with resin] and a heat gun. In this workshop you will learn how to safely use encaustic supplies. You will also learn how to get a smooth or textured surface and how to incorporate photography and other mixed media materials in your work. Students will walk away with their completed 5×7 inch painting. A materials fee of $20 is payable to the instructor on the day of the workshop. This workshop is suited for all skill levels.
