Encaustic Class

I'm taking a class on encaustic painting on Sunday with a local Bay Area artist, Eileen Goldenberg. Check out her website http://www.eileenpgoldenberg.com/

Can't wait to try out this medium. There are so many possibilities. My mind is spinning. I can't wait to learn about it. Eileen says painting with encaustics is using beeswax, dammar resin and pigment. "Encaustic" means to burn in. She suggested getting Joanne Mattera's book, "The Art of Encaustic Painting." It arrived today and I can't wait to look through it tonight.

I think this will be a great way to combine my photos and collages in this medium.

I'll post what I create in class on Sunday!
