In case you who don't know me... I'm Julie... (hello!)
Before re-discovering my creativity, frankly, I was frazzled.
A long story short, I discovered encaustic, and it changed my life!
I'm now a self taught artist (and smartphone photographer) back in my homeland in North Cornwall in the UK... (I was in Hertfordshire before, so you might have seen me there!)
After being taught that art was just a hobby, and something only to be done in your spare time (IF you had any spare time!!) I found my way back to my art in 2011...
I now help people experience encaustic for themselves.... which is a truly healing art form.
I've seen it's therapeutic benefits time and time again, so I'm now on a mission to share it with as many people as I can...
I had so many people say "I wish you were closer..." So, that's how my online courses were born..!
So far... people from the UK, Europe, America, Australia & New Zealand have joined...
it's wonderful to be able to share and help other people experience encaustic for themselves, with the help of the internet!
🎨🐝✨💕
The Art & Magic of Encaustic is not a simplistic step by step guide
to a finished wax image...
It's a smorgasboard of techniques, leaving you with a whole tool box of methods of applications, which you can dip into again and again, leaving you with limitless ideas and inspiration...
🎨🐝✨💕
WE WILL:
🎨 Discover exciting, deliciously tactile, and intuitive way of painting, with endless possibilities.

🎨 Build and grow your art practice over time, as you are called, and as your budget allows...
🎨 Start to see every day items you have around your home in a whole new light!

WHAT'S INSIDE...
COVERING THE BASICS:
We start with the foundations, getting a great understanding of this magical medium.
Videos & PDF's designed to help you work out what equipment you will need, helping to avoid mistake buys... (of which I made many in my early days!!)
The videos build on each other to create a solid understanding of things to consider whilst you're working, depending on the scale you wish to work at.
Don't be tempted to skip this part, as it also includes helpful tips to ensure you're working safely....
This section will help you make the best equipment and material choices based on the art you want to create.
ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY:
We kick this section off with a bit of good old common sense!! Some people say encaustic is a scary medium, it's really not!
BUT, there are some things you will want to be mindful of when painting with these hot tools...
This section covers all the H&S things you need to consider, from ventilation, powdered pigments, trailing cables, and a whole lot more...
HOW TO BUILD YOUR ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS:
Yay... Time to fire the heat up, and put it all into practice!
This section shows you how to pull all you've learnt so far together, and how to begin creating your first encaustic pieces.
There are approximately two hours of videos in this section.... BUT we've done enough research by now... we want you creating...!
I recommend watching the first three videos... THEN... Start applying plain medium yourself, to get the feel of the material. Practice getting smooth and textured surfaces...
It's only when you start... that your experience will begin.
NEXT watch video four, as an overview of ways to colour...
From there, choose the videos as you are drawn to, depending on the materials you've gathered so far and the methods that appeal the most...
Follow your intuition...!
PHOTOS & VIDEOS TO INSPIRE:
I find it helps to watch and learn from other projects, and get some ideas to try. This section includes around 25 minutes of videos....
Watch me create my pieces, and view close up photos of finished images for added ideas.
We cover a variety of techniques, including using natural elements, embedding old letters and revealing hidden layers.
EXTRA HINTS, TIPS & RESOURCES:
Although not essential aspects of encaustic wax painting, this sections covers some very handy things to know...
A selection of videos and resources, including how to clean your equipment, buffing, curing and blooming...
Where to find additional resources, and videos recorded after my Binnie Birstein Scholarship trip to the Encaustic Conference in America in 2022, which includes a round up with lots of tips, tools and findings from the conference and and my two day workshop with R&F founder Richard Frumes.
HERE'S A VIDEO, TO SEE INSIDE THE COURSE...
I get as much joy from seeing you create, as I do creating my own work.
Sharing these techniques, encouraging others and seeing what they've created makes me so happy...!
