Mini Encaustic look

  • Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel Portland, OR (map)

Get a luminous encaustic look using acrylic products. In this workshop, we’ll create two small mixed media pieces that go together (a diptych) using an acrylic recipe that mimics that beautiful waxy encaustic appearance. This process is an easy, fun way to paint- much less expensive than oil & cold wax or traditional encaustics. 

 Scroll down to see a short video about the inspiration behind this workshop.

$30 materials fee includes: shared GOLDEN Paint colors to achieve a dreamy blue palette, shared collage papers, Medium, Interference colors & everything needed to make the secret acrylic encaustic recipe. 

 

Materials needed for class:

2 small substrates- gessoed canvas or wood panels 12x12 or smaller (your choice in size/shape)

Your brush set, acrylic set, palette knife

Water container, rag 

Scissors
