Top Ten Reasons to Take an Encaustic Painting Workshop

1) The class size is always small and personable, so you get lots of individualized instruction. It’s the nature of encaustic!
2) The smell! It’s better than a candle store and healthier too (especially if you’re allergic to perfume)
3) The touch: soft, warm, diggable, pourable, paintable. It’s like sculpting with paint. It’s what you wish all painting experiences felt like.
4) The beautiful sunlight that ripples through the layers of your painting. Did you make that? Yes!
5) So primitive! All that digging and scraping into organic soft wax. It’s a nice change from the computer.
6) The wax holds you – whoever you are as an artist shines through in the wax. Bring whatever media you are working in, to the table. The wax will meet you there.
7) The color. You ain’t seen color til you’ve seen it in wax.
8) The speed. If you are impetuous and want fast results, this is your wheelhouse.
9) So playful! Have I mentioned mud pies to you?
10) You get to be Egyptian for a day 🙂
Stay waxy!
