Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and resin. It can be smooth and shiny, textured and three-dimensional all on the same painting. We will explore melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, texture and scraping through. It is ideal for scribing with lines, working abstractly or in a more representational style. Encaustic, once an ancient process, is now updated with new tools and equipment. The participants will be supplied with a small piece of board (4×6”) on which to practice each of the 6 techniques. This is a solvent free medium.The equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools will be provided by the instructor. No prior experience necessary.

Lynda Ray is a professional artist whose paintings have been shown locally and nationally. Her work is included in The Art of Encaustic Painting by Joanne Mattera. She has a BFA in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and studied at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and Virginia Commonwealth University. She has been working with the ancient medium of encaustic since it’s re-emergence in the 1980s. Although she works in a non-representational style, she finds encaustic to be an excellent medium for all types of work. Understanding the properties of encaustic is the first step to incorporating it into your work.
