What was old is new again! One of the oldest techniques acknowledged by art historians, encaustic painting uses molten beeswax mixed with colorful pigments. The resulting effects are luminous color and richly layered work. It is an ideal complement or stand-alone process for oil painters, printmakers, collagists, sculptors, watercolorists and other 2-D artists.
This introduction to the historic process includes a brief slide lecture and then students explore the medium and learn classic encaustic techniques. Contemporary processes such as surface embellishment through scraping and incising, collaging, and marking with oil paint, pastel, oil sticks or paint are also introduced. Students (and teachers) are also provided with information (supply sources, instructions for setting up a studio for encaustic work, safety guidelines, and mounting and framing notes) that will allow them to continue their investigation of this versatile medium. This program has been organized by the VMFA Office of Statewide Partnerships and is funded, in part, by the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
All required supplies will be provided. Students may bring Optional Supplies.
About the Artist: Karen Eide is a full-time professional artist who earned her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. The Council of the VMFA awarded Ms. Eide the Virginia Craftsperson of the Year
