The Art & Magic of Encaustic is designed to give you the know how, to get started with this unusual style of painting, confidently and quickly.
It is my basic 101 beginners guide...!
That said, if you're already working with this style of wax, there are so many ways to approach things, you can always discover something new.
Encaustic Wax Medium is applied in layers, fused, and pigmented in a multitude of ways.
Mementoes, grasses, coloured papers, waxes, and pigments in many forms, are incorporated to create an interesting and expansive style of work.
There are eight separate videos sharing just some of the ways to colour to your waxes.
There are a few health and safety implications to be considered, which can sometimes be overwhelming, and confusing when you are starting out.
This course will cover the aspects you need to be aware of.
Each video is designed to be short, and to the point (hopefully!), to get you creating as quickly as possible.
Watch the videos on slow, or double speed.
The course is designed to spark ideas, then encourage you to create your own works, based on your interpretation of what you've seen.

Different types of Waxes and Mediums
Different supports to work on

If you suffer with that oh so common
'Overwhelm' / 'Fear of Getting Started' / 'Blank Canvas Syndrome'
you are not alone... I have a bucket of resources to help you!
I get it, and fully understand that life gets in the way sometimes, and having the time to create is often tricky, crikey, I've got the tee-shirt on that one!!!
But, lets understand why it happens... Why it's so scary to: Pick up a paintbrush. To share our art. How to stop putting everything else first. How to finally prioritise our artistic practices!
Being in a group of likeminded souls is the first step.
All creativity, and encaustic, in particular, is such a beautiful and healing medium... when we make the space for it...!
