HOT ART: Basic Encaustic Techniques

Adult Course | Registration opens 12/3/2024 7:00 AM MST

This two day, hands-on encaustic workshop is designed to give you an overview of the encaustic process and allow you to try various tools and techniques. We will briefly discuss history, safety and materials, then dive into making encaustic medium and paint, prepping substrates, and applying wax. You will learn: to fuse with heat, layering, work with texture, mark-making and transfer imagery. This is two jam-packed days. 

We will be working on 6x6” panels and everyone will go home with finished art and an in-depth understanding of encaustic medium, process and possibilities.

  • Adult, introductory to encaustic, all levels welcome.

  • Supplies:
    • roll of wax paper
    • roll of paper towels
    • baking parchment paper
    • black masking tape for masking and edges
    • small bottle of baby oil
    • nitrile gloves

Victoria Eubanks

Victoria Eubanks is a visual artist and educator. She brings 30 years of graphic design sensibility, 15 years of fine art making and extraordinary talent to her classrooms and studio. Victoria mixes media—combining encaustic medium, cold wax, oil paint, printmaking or photography in a variety of ways. Her art contains intended imperfections—lopsided rounds, rough sgrafitto lines, uneven repetition, organic shapes and the occasional recognizable object. She believes the inevitable human inconsistencies connect the artist and the viewer. 

 

Victoria’s work hangs in private and corporate art collections and has been included in over 60 exhibitions. Her practice has received multiple awards and recognition. She is a long time member of the MIX co-op, her works can been seen at Niza Knoll Gallery, Gallery 1261, and Framed Image Gallery in Denver and online at VictoriaEubanksArt.com.  

 

Victoria is also involved with multiple community outreach programs, giving back through her art. She is passionate about teaching, her philosophy is to provide a safe space, where individuals can learn, explore and enjoy their own art making.
