Encaustic Painting with Carol Aaron

Artist Carol Aaron returns with a three-hour encaustic painting class where you will learn to paint safely with a molten combination of beeswax, damar resin, and powdered pigments. You will blend colors, build textures, fuse with a heat gun, and use various tools for scraping and incising. At the end of the class, you’ll leave with an archival 6 x 6” painting that you created, and the skills to make more!
All materials are included: high quality, sustainably sourced wood panels, filtered beeswax, powdered pigments, and pre-made encaustic paints that you can purchase locally. This introductory class doesn’t require any artistic skill. All you need is a desire to be creative and an appreciation for textured art.
This event will take place outdoors in the NCHM Centennial Courtyard.
