Painting with Hot Wax Encaustics with Regina B Quinn

The Roxbury Arts Group is thrilled to welcome President of the International Encaustic Artists, Regina B. Quinn for a one-day workshop exploring painting with encaustics. This compelling workshop will take place at the Headwaters Arts Center at 66 Main St. in Stamford, NY on Saturday April 13 from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The fee for this one-day workshop is $185 and includes all materials. 

Encaustic paints create beautiful, unique luminosity by using beeswax, damar resin and pigments. These special paints are melted on a hot palette and then painted on panels or other substrates. Workshop participants with learn a wide variety of techniques for building translucent and opaque layers, creating smooth or deeply textured surfaces and incorporating other media to create artworks that have a unique glow – almost as if lit from within.

Demonstrations and explorations will be appropriate for artists who are new to encaustics as well as those with some experience. Participants will have the opportunity to create several small works during the session!
