Explore the creative possibilities of combining photography and encaustic painting in this five-week, 15-hour course. Through demonstrations, guided experimentation, and studio time, students will learn multiple approaches for incorporating personal photographs into luminous wax-based work.

Topics include preparing and editing digital images using photo-editing apps, printing on encaustic compatible papers, and different methods of incorporating those images into your encaustic paintings. (The instructor will print images for those unable to print their own.)  Students will consider composition, image selection, scale, transparency, and layering in creating their own photo-encaustic works of art.  Participants should have some experience with encaustic, including fusing and layering.
