Encaustic Fundamentals

AUGUST 8 | From 2:00PM to 5:00PM

We will use encaustic and mixed media techniques to build up beautiful surfaces and textures to create an imaginary landscape infused with memory and emotion.
We will create imaginative impressions of a landscape you can create from your imagination or a real place that you hold a deep connection to; your garden, childhood home or a favorite vacation spot.

All materials are provided, students will have a 12” round art board to paint on although they are free to bring in their own substrate as long as it’s a solid surface (not canvas).

Students are also encouraged to bring photo references or sketches of the landscape they’d like to create.

Hazel Griffiths is a multidisciplinary artist originally from England, with a primary focus on encaustic painting. Using wax and mixed media, she builds textured, organic surfaces that become atmospheric landscapes.
