Description of the week end immersion into encaustic painting

 

Are you art enthusiast wanting to discover a new versatile painting process ?

Do you want to recharge your creative batteries and create beautiful atmospheric artwork and embellish them using a wide range of techniques in a relax and inspiring environment?

Then, I invite you to spend the week-end discovering the art of encaustic painting, an ancient painting process using molten beeswax, resins and natural pigments.

This workshop offers the unique opportunity to take two days for yourself and immerse yourself in your creativity.
During the workshops, you will be able to focus on your artistic work, and take it to the next level : participants will be exposed to basic, intermediate and advanced techniques in working with encaustic medium.
Whether you come with a project in mind or a blank canvas, you will find support and input, from likeminded people, while being given all the skills you need for creative growth.
We will share what inspire us and you will be shown you different ways to translate it into your artworks.

Immerse yourself in your art, create and leave transformed and refreshed !
