description

We will explore new surface techniques as we create textured paintings of paper, paint, and collage, mount them on wood, then continue to build up the surface with more paint and a layer of encaustic wax that we will transfer onto, incise, and glaze with oil based pigment. This is a class to help all levels think outside the box when creating mixed media paintings.
